Once, while waiting on the light rail platform, I witnessed a guy riding a ghost bike and dealing drugs on Main Street Square.
Sure you did.
You should’ve kicked his ***. Damned thieves.
$2,000 for a whopping 700 sq ft, what a deal..
cm: Luckily there are older garden style places all over for 1/2 that (or less). Some people just want new and shiny and are willing to pay for it. God bless ’em I say…
Hopefully the thieves will use the map to steal the rest of the bikes.
I had to do a double take on that one…thought I read that Al Cervik was going to buy Bushwood…then saw that Cernus is developing Woodson.
Hah, wow. Those prices are a little ambitious. Or I’m just completely clueless as to realistic prices in Montrose.
