So, I looked through the list of derelict properties the county wishes to sell. I picked out a dozen or so streets to cruise in search of that gem in the rough. Dog and I bundled into the car, I put the list on the seat next to me with a route map to keep the trip efficient and concise. There were two stops on North Anthony that intrigued me. The numbers suggested good location, so we started there. Wow. Very nice houses. Both had lovely paint jobs, nice curtains in the window, good looking cars in the drive. Hmmm. I made a mark to call the county about those two. Something either was very wrong or I had found the diamond in the first shovel full. On to the next property. It was more of what I had expected. Boarded windows and the signs of long neglect. The foundation was lined with small and medium trees pushing skyward.
