for years we kept hearing about this real estate boom and decided it was time to get in on the action – hope it’s not too late?
after 2 1/2 years of looking and countless open houses (probably close to 100 for the jboss) we finally have a signed contract on a house. it will be great to have a place of our own. makes it all seem less temporary.
if you ask the realtor she will say the house is in island bay, when actually it is in southgate – a tiny neighborhood on the ridge overlooking island bay. but we think of it as an extension of island bay – just like the bronx is an extension of manhattan.
we are going to create the story of how southgate broke away from island bay – stay tuned for that.
