“That crumbling victorian makes me sad.”

Me, too. When I was a Realtor a few years ago, I showed some old Victorians in now-rundown neighborhoods and couldn’t help but think how grand they were some 70 years ago. Too bad.

A little over 20 years ago, I worked for a contractor doing Weatherization in welfare homes in Detroit. Replaced windows doors, sealed the houses etc.

THe architecture of even common homes was amazing. That these houses were still standing after decades of abuse gave testament to their quality.

It was pathetic how these welfare rats just expected everything be given to them with no responsibility.

I’m awaiting a job offer today or tomorrow that will take me out of this cesspool of a state. Unfortunately, the family will need to remain till we can offload the house. I’ll have a poster on the back of my car for the ride to my new home.

“Another Michigan family blown away...Thanks Jenny.”
