Out of curiosity, I just looked through the county records on that place. They seemed to have inherited it from their parents in the 1990s, took out a mortgage, paid it off in 2003 and I guess took out a couple more mortgages, because they defaulted on $867,000 of debt.

Citi got the place at a January sheriff sale when no one bid. It’s on gsmls now for $617,000. Good luck to Citi.

I dropped by that place a few weeks ago. What a wreck. It seems to have settled in such a way that the windows have popped out of the frames, the floor was buckling (my son that was really cool) and the basement was hosting a serious insectarium. Through the basement window frames we could see what looked like a couple feet of black water. There was a lot of buzzing.

Seemingly for special effect, two hawks were perched on the chimney and greeted our arrival by turning screeching circles overhead.

There was a strange mound in the backyard with white PVC pipes sticking out, which seemed to be for ventilation. What is that? I’ve since noticed it elsewhere, though usually not on residential property.

The address is 255 Loantaka. The property is swamp.

I just saw your posts

# 192 It is easy to distinguish it from other critters’ urine bythe taste, I am told.

Uh..Illiterate bigot, giving false information. I’m shocked, shocked.

Re 101, don’t laugh, the Puerto Rico Marriott has a casino next door and their is an entrance to it from the marriott, the marriott which is morman does not allow ……OMG if Mitt Romney was president I don’t even want to think up what laws he could create”

Yeah, you are so right. After all, as a governor, he turned Massachusetts into a fundamentalist “Morman” state.

Vermiculite house going back on active. I killed it in attorney review, in no small part due to the comments here.

Thanks to all who commented. You saved me tens of thousands.

It’s nice to be missed.

It’s also good to be back to the sturm und drang of this board. For a while there, I thought I was becoming a happy person again.

“Mesothelioma smorgasbord”? Just how many characters populate that sick little world inside your head? :)

If John Cheever was the “Chekhov of the suburbs”, what does that make you?

Glad you back- missed ya!

Lets say our friend who was buying up Ford recently called his broker and said buy ford, well pretty quickly the street would know his intentions and drive up the price. Also dark pools often assign monikers to the account to protect privacy. For instance up to recently everyone on the street knew Trump used Bear. So lets see a flood of sell orders on Trump casinos hit the tape from broker 352, the stock will tank. What you do is work it in the dark pool in bits and pieces and then work desk inventory before you hit the tape on the remaining shares in the block.

re: (208)

John without getting into a liquidity discussion, the creation of the dark pools is to hide the trade correct?

Whatever happened to the the importance of transparency and regulation?

Merck to cut 1,200 U.S. sales force positions

C’mon, you should know this; Graydon lives in a 4300 sq. ft. CHC built in 2005. No asbestos to worry about it.

Now, cousins K’brie and Archer, that’s a different story. Mom got the victorian in the Whitehouse area from the divorce settlement and the guy she’s dating is a litagation lawyer and he says the insulated pipes next to the wine cellar are like a mesothelioma smorgasbord.

JB, could you please let this board know when your wife offically declares that there’s blood in the streets?
I’m betting this will be the best indicator that it’s time to jump in and buy.
Thanks.

“blood in the streets” Yeah! I wonna see the deep red blood, too. Please tell me when & where.
