Subject: BS: Bobert to buy Hotel?.........
Well, well, well..

Danged Lord looks after fools and kids so I'm sho nuff hoping that I got double coverage...

Couple months ago I had a guy offer me enuff for a commercial piece of property that I bought a long time ago (and ran my business out of for 15 years) so that I couldn't say no....

Well to mkae long story short, I gotta reinvest the money in other commercial properties and today I bought a 1833 hotel in Luray, Va. Yeah, its a mess. Been cloed down for the last 30 years. Got leaky roof and got lots of issues but, hey, it is located in the historic district and it don't scare me one bit...

And it's a beauty. Nice federalist building... Brick... And the best thing about it, everyone in Luray that I have talked with wants it renovated!!!! Hello!!!!

So, my plan is to have 8 apartments on the 2nd floor and the first floor which has a long hall running down the middle of it is going to be a little mini-mall and a resturant... Heck o' an idea, if I don't say so...

Yeah, it's gonna take 18 months to complete but when it's done, this ol' Wes Ginny hillbilly gonna be like some kind o' hero to the folks in Luray, Va., which is real good 'cause I'z gonna pull up my stakes here in these hills and find myself a little farm house down in Page Counry, Va and me an' the P-Vine gonna live out our lives down among folks who ain't all jazed up on being all gentrified....

Life is good and if any Catters ever gonna be in the Shanandoah Valley fir anything, ya' let me know an' we'll hook up...
