Re: [MBZ] $250 car and Singleton's
Personally I'd love to. It is my unfortunate inability to do the physical work on the car that puts the skids on that plan. It was rainy and about 50 degrees last night so we didn't make the trip to Singletons to enjoy the outdoor dinning, Will be headed there in a week or so when the weather is warm once more. Why were rents on Southside so high 10 years ago? Upscale apartments in that area are about $1200/month today.

I guess Bay Club considers themselves the yuppiest of the yuppie rentals. It was definitely nice and had a one car attached garage. On 3/3/07, BillR [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Personally I'd love to.

Re: [MBZ] $250 car and Singleton's
So you were upscale, even for then. Don't you wish you could go back a few years and make some purchases that didn't seem worthwile at the time .. like the land down on Scott Mill [just past our house] and Mandarin Rd. In its developing days the minimum lot was 4 acres. That forced a lot of people to become millionairs when they sold off the front lots and stayed on the river. Today a river lot adds a minimum of $3 - 400K to the price. Lots of MB's, a Rolls or two coming up that way [including a glittering - no other way to describe all the shiny parts- mid 1950's model , and a new Austin Martin that drives by on a regular basis. I can walk down the sidewalk and watch them go by ...

Re: [MBZ] $250 car and Singleton's
Yeah - that is the part I left out. I could not have afforded stuff back then either. Only guy I know who actually did that started buying land in Broward County [Ft. Lauderdale area] before WWII. Everybody made fun of him that he spent all of his $$ buying usless land. Ended up owning a good chunk of Broward. When the GI's came home people quit making fun and started saying 'Sir'. Oh, well...
