What's wrong with this thread?

It's one that bobert started that's not political or anti-government.

But I'll bet his hotel uses the New York Times for toilet paper.

It's so, WYSusan it's so...

Yeah, time to move on... Jefferson County, WV is becoming more and more like gentrified No. Va... Time to go... Hey, if the bus stays, it stays, but if I take it with me then that's fine, too. I love the bus but I love this ol' hotel and Page County, Va. more...

But you can bet that e an' the P-Vine gonna dig up one heck of a lot of plants that are moving with us....

Yeah, kinda sad... Been here for 20 years but guess what.... As you know, life goes on...

All I gotta do is play the politics right...

Aw I know you KIN do that, but will you WANT to?

You're leaving the bus??????????

I've been in denial about this for some time now..... if we owned this property here I'd say send the bus up here....

Naw, I think I'm gonna stay in denial. Yeah, I know most of the good reasons, but... Bobert! Say it ain't so!

Congrats, Bobert! I wish you and the P-Vine the best of good fortune. I would love to see it in process but maybe in about two years I'll be walkin' in.

Thankee, freda and beardedbruce...

I am totaly psyched... Out of mind psyched...

This is one wonderful old building that has been beggin' for the last 30 years to have someone come along and say "Hey, you and me..."

Yeah, I was walking thru it today. It was raining and, yeah, there were places where the rain was comin' theu the roof, even two floors down and I was thinkin' "Are you nuts, Bobert?" and then I just said to myself "Life's a cinch, inch by inch" and knew that the I had been appointed to bring this grand ol' lady back 'er die tryin'.....

I really don't think she'll kill me off because she's got more in her and I've got the determination to get "her done"....

Gonna be the biggest project of my life but, hey, when you breazk it down to square feet, they are all the same...

I hope...and pray....

Well, Rap, the way I see it one paper is that afetr all is said and done, I think I may own something special... The town of Luray certainlu thinks so as alot of folks in high positions are gonna bend a lot of rules to help me get things done.... We'll see... I might loose my butt and end up living in poverty? Who cares... This ol' building need me and I need it....

BTW, I might need an expert markmans... There's some critter livin' in the building that is killing the pigeons in the attick with some kinda vicousness... Pigeon blood everywhere...

Hey, dude. My in-laws owned property on Naked Creek, backed up to Grindstone Mountain, in the Bear Litha Springs area, for better'n 25 years. They sold it a year or so back for a LOT more than they paid -- helped 'em out with retirement. I know Luray and the Valley!

It's great to save the old places, if they can be saved. Not only are you doing a good deed, you'll get some money outa it. You win both ways.

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...
