If this is indeed Mr. Reitman, then call me on my cell 952-210-1086 to set something up. <br /><br />The long answer: I'm not sure what your angle is on this, as it is my personal belief that there is no single person that has contributed more to neighborhood blight on key community corridors than you, Mr. Reitman. If the interior of 2520 is anything like that of 2522, this visit will do nothing to change my opinion of you. <br /><br />I have seen you own properties in key areas, do little to nothing to make them better, and only when other people lift up the community around your houses and then need to deal with you in one way or another do you talk about how nice your properties are. <br /><br />And that's the difference I see between the two of us. I bought a property on a strategic intersection and through my purchase, made it an attractive home. I'll do everything in my power to improve the community around me, whether I gain from that or not.<br /><br />In any case, I won't pass up an opportunity to (legally) see the inside of 2520 Penn prior to demolition.Jeff Skreneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597476540441866248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-50060074294066658792012-08-18T17:07:28.868-05:002012-08-18T17:07:28.868-05:00Hello Jeff and welcome to the block.

And once these two are down, I think it's most likely that the two lots will be combined into one. If there's some interesting history here, maybe that can be incorporated into the design of the new construction.Jeff Skreneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597476540441866248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-41428784871287756132012-08-17T23:14:43.499-05:002012-08-17T23:14:43.499-05:00Can you look up the history of these two houses an...Can you look up the history of these two houses and post the results on the blog? As in find the original owners's stories and perhaps historical photos? May be a fitting tribute to an otherwise ignoble (and protracted; for how long did Reitman torture these homes?) end for these properties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
