23 Mar 05 - 09:38 PM (#1442143) Subject: BS: Bobert to buy Hotel?......... From: Bobert 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... Bobert |

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. |

I've allready had my subs go down with me so I'm purdy sure I can stay of budget on this one... Ahhhh, yeah, P-Gator, I know it's coming but unless George Bush sells off the national forests I think I'll be okay... I'm only looking houses with properties that back up to the park... Hey, I got time and believe it oe not, there are a few out there fir sale just liie that... As fir THE BUS? Ohhhhh, this is going to be the hardesr part since it really isn't a bus anymore, but a full fledged cottage with its own side porch... I did recieve a thoughtfull PM on the pitfalls of starting a resturant and, for the record, I'd never do that... Yeah, I'm going to try to find a scesful restuaranter and let them fight thru the red tape and come back to me with a proposal... I know about sewer and water hook-up reqirements and have allready gotten a verbal from the town manager that the town will do it for "cost"... No mark ups... That means less than $10K... And since I'm going to rewire the entire building after demoing the plaster and lathe we won't have any trouble bringing 3-phase right where it will be needed... Now, if there are any Catters out there who are tired of the rat-race and would like to consider leasing a commercial space and/or renting an apartment, PM me with what you have in mind... I think it would be cool to have a guitar/music shop and if ya wanted to live there, you wouldn't have to leave the building to walk down stairs to work... Bobert |

Might o' fact I thought maybe I'd really hit the jackpot when I was lookin' at the hotel in findin' a metal plate behind it and lifted it up and shined my flashligh down into a big black hole and figured that the hotel was built over some caverns itself and was thinkin' that maybe I could give the Luray Caverns a run fir their money with Bobert's Caverns but, sniff... that hole is just a big ol' sistern.... But don't thing the ca-chongerator didn't go off in my head... Man, fir a minute there I figured I was gonna be rich and be able retire my '91 Toyota? But, no.... Oh well, after 240,000 me and ol Toyoter has become good buddies so I reckon its okay that I ain't gonna be rich quite yet... And Lizzie?

And we're gonna come up with some fancy & catchy name and have falgs made which will hang off the front of the building right there over Main St., ahhhh, which it really is called... But no bus...

25 Mar 05 - 09:15 AM (#1443446) Subject: RE: BS: Bobert to buy Hotel?......... From: Rapparee Hey, I jist figgered this out! Ol' Bobert's gonna git hisself a big ol' white house, kinda like that one in DeeCee, but in the Shenandoah Valley. He'll sit on the porch, a-sippin' juleps an' bourbon an' branch, and ever' coupla days the mailman'll bring him another one of them seven figger checks. Bobert'll cash the check and buy some more property an' fix it up. Pritty soon, he'll own 'most everything in the Valley, an' then he'll start oppressin' folks. Raisin' the rents, evictin' them that can't pay, waterin' the workers' beer. After a few years the wretched of the Earth will revolt. The Shenandoah Valley will be ablaze with revolution; Naked Creek with run red with the blood of Bobert's overseers an' lackeys an' lickspittles an' brownnosers an' toadies. Mobs armed with pitchforks an' torches will move onto the Big House (as it'll be called), shouting things like "Kill the monster!" an' "Sic semper tyrannis!" and "Workers of the World, Unite!" Ol' Bobert'll be on the porch dressed in overalls an' a busted-down straw hat, strummin' his guitar, when the mobs arrive. They'll pass by him, thinkin' he's just one of them, lookin' for Bobert. Not findin' him (and after eatin' all the P-Vine's cookies), they'll start a barbecue and ask Ol' Bobert to play a bit for it. Somebody'll drag out Bobert's beer, an' a party will start. By the next mornin' they'll have figgered out the name of the guitar picker, but everybody will have had such a good time nobody'll care. An' Bobert'll go back to oppressin' the masses, but this time everybody'll know what a good guy he is, revolution will be stifled, Winchester'll still export apples to DeeCee, and everybody'll be happy. That boy Bobert, he's some smart dude. |

One of the few family trips with uncles, aunts, and cousins was to the Luray Caverns many, many years ago.

My couzin Rufus takes his annual one day vacation over there, swappoing lies and spittin' in the parking lot... Ahhhhh, Rap. I see you have been rereading your old copy of "Animal Farm"... Thanks, open mike, fir all the research... Yeah, too bad the pic was no longer there but in a way, that's good, since if you all say what it looks like today you would think I waz nuts... Well, another big day down in Luray (Hmmmmm, maybe a song in there?) today. To add to the hotel, I've bought the 4th oldest building in Luray, an 1804 building that has an upstarirs apartment, commercial on the 1st floor and a nice little commercial store in the basement. Spending money that I really don't have is hard work... But here's the part that Dougie will love and porlly provide him with lots of ammo. When my porperty settles in Leesburg, buy reinvesting in "like" (commerical) properries thru a 1031 exchange, I won't have to pay the taxes on the capital gain... But, now I don't want anyone to think that this ol' hillbilly is rich 'er nuthin'...
