"HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN" animals
"It's been the ruin of many a poor boy"
As it was mentioned here the Gage House went up for auction yesterday. Seems there was the auctioneer and a real estate agent.... Plus FOUR other souls, that I will not mention by name. None of these four had any intention of purchasing the property, only to see if it would be sold? The auctioneer started... and finished the bidding at $399,000! Yet what can this building be used for? Apartments in a B3 district? Maybe the Planning Commission can propose a B3-whatever? Coffee House? Good possibility. Upscale Boutique? Really a stone's throw from the new Dollar Tree Store? I just hope nothing befalls this building before everyone gets realistic.
In the conversation, as you know I have no love for the Downtown Painesville Organization not the people but what they seem to want us to believe. Seems one of our downtown merchants was cited by the city for using the wrong color red on his building. Maybe it didn't match the fake crosswalk brick color? My own thoughts on this merchant? The city should send a Limo out to his home and pick him up and take him home every night for operating the business here. Be thankful they care enough to keep up their property. Not writing idiotic citations such as this one! Guess that ones buried in the ordinance book somewhere? The citation writer should be put on yard sign removal detail until the snow flies. I'm willing to bet their not a Painesville resident just a carpetbagger from somewhere outside of OZ? I know of a couple of buildings in downtown needing painting and I can't wait to inform you when government taxes dollars are used to paint one of them.
I possibly see the Dollar Tree Store being successful as well as a new women's store to be located
in town where every item is $25.00 or less.
Myself? I can't wait until the Movers & Shakers in this town stop living in their self derived Fantasyland! And Painesville can move forward realistically.

Let's think about what $399,000 could buy? Look at zillow and start comparing numbers. Any bid over $100,000 is a gift.
Here is what I don't understand in Painesville. There is a good business who has a lovely store front and the city takes them to task over a paint color, yet on Main Street there is a store front with black plastic hanging up for curtains. Honestly, how does this fly?
There ya go - finally a citation. No not really, why go after someone like this and not the bunches of residents doing wrong (garage sale signs, campers and boats illegally parked, traffic violations, parking on the lawn, etc.etc.etc) Really? Who turned them in and who issued the citation? No sane employee would do this alone.
I am going out on a limb here in guessing that the inspector who issued this citation was also the same one who visited Judge Lawson?
my guess is the citation is in retaliation for something...anyone know which business?
4:56 You mentioned sane.
5:24 hadn't thought of that. We haven't had that spirit here since Agent Orange retired!
7:24 I don't think so I do know the business in question and it's really makes no sense.
Speaking of prices in downtown, the Bitzer Furniture Building has been on the market for over 1,400 days at $649,000? at that price maybe another 1400 years.
The Dollar Tree will be a bust if the owners don't restrict the use of their parking lot to the Mexican store. Illegal residents equal illegal parking.
Agent Orange had the spirit, just not the other required tools like fairness, good judgment, good sense and maybe honesty?
