oh no, is it beyond hope? The foundation & brick walls look strong enough. It's that upper third story that needs major work. Must've been added on sometime in the last decade, using cheap shoddy materials that satisfied the neoconstruction methods mandated by nineleven. You know, the methods that allow unwarranted wiretaps & asset seizure? And that landscaping, which should be a showcase of idealism & hope for the future, could use a strong de-weeder. Hard work for a non-halliburtractor ~~ D.K.
Yeh, I don't think it's salvageable. Agreed, "A nice, violent revolution should do the job," but for that to happen, wouldn't the people have to get angry, get pissed to the point of turning off the boob tube at the risk of missing "Survivor" or watching Tiger Woods next weekend?
Right now, I think they're only minutely disturbed. Certainly not to the point they'd forgo the excellent programming of distraction TV.
well, I am confused,....WHY do you have a picture of my house on your blog...and who would not appreciate my beautiful home...it just needs a touch of paint...and a shingle o two....oh maybe a little landscaping...
I can see the ad in a Real Estate listing: Bright and airy structure, needs TLC. Handyman's haven, ready for landscaping. Act quickly! This one will sell fast!.
Yep, this thing's been bought and sold over and over so many times by all the members of the great gang down on K Street, is so run down and dilapidated, that all the things that used to work halfway right in it, don't work at all now.
Only solution appears at date with the wrecking ball. Complete demolition along with that other ghost ship across the aisle, er, street.
(laughing with) Fran: that's a classic "all offers considered"! If we can determine "previous owner lost vision and died intestate", we could apply to get it listed in the "Histeric Register".
E, that must be your "before pic" ... I hope?
Guess Dada & PT don't think all it needs is a woman's touch -- sorry, gag, really, I'll stop now. ~~ D.K.
deke: thanks for reminding me to tell enigma how much I loved her digs. And who wouldn't show up to fix it?
Maybe the National Demolition Party would?
Geez, I'm confounded. A blog with no words, just a nice picture of some run down rubble-pile ruins and it brings more comments than those wordy tomes I post.
nah, it's just the picture's worth a thousand thing. and since you didn't supply us any words, we had to come up with our own!
your "tomes" aren't wordy. they have neither more nor less than the amount required. in fact, I admire the way you pack in so much thought. and of course that special dada zing! ~~ D.K.
I do all that work dusting and tidying and look at those beautiful big new Airy windows....and I swept the parking lot- lots of room for you all... Well..I guess I will have to find Someplace nicer for you all- the challenge is on folks....Top These Digs...
d.k. Oh my, such kind words! My head's so big as a result, I doubt I could get through the front door of Enigma's (our) new commune this morning! TY.
enigma: I like the commune thing. It would beat living under a bridge. But if we're to really do this, the first thing that should be done is painting over the first floor facade of this little monstrousity.
I wouldn't want passers-by to get the impression we who reside therein are part of the problem!

That building should be condemned. A nice, violent revolution should do the job.

I'm just jealous because I didn't think of controlling millions of people like that first.

and what Halli Who will show up to fix it? ....
It needs a bit more than a touch of paint. It's filled with capitalist vermin. Demolition is the only recourse at this point.
It's OK. We can rebuild it and make it what it should have been.

Maybe I need to get away from the keyboard more?

I think we need to call HELLiburton to give us a no bid contract of about $1.000.000.000.000.00 to fix it up just like new..it worked in Iraq right???
