Yep, it has two lifts in it already. Thought it'd make a neat little hot rod shop.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Don't go there. You buy it and you will be responsible for the ground contamination. That's why it has been setting empty for so long.
I was wondering if it'd be something like that
I agree as stated above, could cost millions to clean up.

unless thats what you are already doing and just want to expand its a moneypit kind of proposition. I had a buddy try something like that many years ago and by the time he got the place cleaned up and set up he was so far in the hole that he was never able to dig back out.

Hooray election day. The commercials finally stop!
Not really, I've already saw 2020 signs this AM
Yup, I just did my civic duty and voted. I was also surprised at how many people were there at 7:30 am.....

I'll probably go in about an hour. Let the 'before work' people get through. Don't know if there is a 'lunch break' rush. Probably not much since most people don't work that close to home.
One of my Parts stores was on a corner in an industrial area. The LPG gas company across the street closed and moved. But I remember seeing a gas pump on the corner of the premis, where they would fuel their trucks. I moved my operation across the street to that building, also on the corner in 1987. Rented it for a while, then decided I wanted to buy the building for myself (10,000) SF. Soooooo... I called the owner one day and told him the EPA was snooping around , about the inground tanks. The following week, he had a crew out there, removing the tank, and the contaminated soil,, LOL. I let one more year pass, then I told him the roof was leaking...Yup...he sent a roofer out there and replaced the entire roof. This guy owned a lot of commercial properties , mostly in DC. Then, after all that was done, I called him a year later, ( 1991 ) and worked out a deal to buy the building from him.....He even took back 80% of the note........
Good Morning!
It is so nice to be here (home) typing on FABO instead of being "Judge" running the polling station.
Opening time is always a problem when more than a handful are waiting to sign in. Its impossible to clear the line because the math doesn't add up. We just try to be as efficient as possible and ask people to be patient. Its like this. Sign in takes 1 to 2 minutes. Voting on the manchine takes people 1-5 minutes depending on the voter and how many offices and questions are on the ballot. We have two voting machines. If there are 10 people in line at opening, the voter number 11 will have to wait around 15 minutes before its his/her turn to sign in. But it always takes longer for people to vote than sign in. So even with two machines, number 11 ends up waiting another 5 minutes. If there are 20 people in line at opening, the time to get to the 21s will be twice it was for 11.
Showing up a half hour after opening is usually better because we've cleared the backlog created by people lining up before opening. Ironic isn't it.
The voting records always include people who have moved and have not reregistered in the state. So in an area with high residential turnover, college areas, bases, etc, there's a really high percentage of registered votors who no longer live in the division. That's why the local election board (the people who sign voters in) is really important. If someone shows up who has moved, we know that. We can let them vote and register their move (in state only), or if they have gone overseas, they can continue to vote. More important, if anyone comes in pretending to be one of these moved/dead/etc since we live here, we're going to know it. (Never actually had that attempted)

If it makes you feel better, these numbers are not quite as bad as it the percentage because its based on the list of registered voters.

Never got why PA you don't show ID, every other place I lived it was mandatory. Just asking for voter fraud if you ask me.
What is?
Voting records are public records.
We have listings by street address as well as the actual registration book where people sign in.
I beleive your birthday, certainly your Soc Sec number, things like that are private.
But name and address and party registered are public.
This is how you end up on mailing lists from the DNC, RNC and any others with money and resources.
How you voted is secret. The fact you voted is not.
If you show up to vote again, everyone can call you out on it, not just the friendly people behind the desk that you slipped a token of appreciation too.
Or they ask you your address: "do you live at xxxxx?" Well yes even if I don't. They do that at the bank too. Duh! "Are you Mike?"
I'll be whoever you want me to be honey!
We do if you are new to the voting division. Its mandatory actually.
And if your registed address is a school or business I'm going to bust yer ____ about it. (nicely of course)

I know the first time is but if you are in the city not a small town who would know if you used a recently dead guys?
Did you see Tooljunkie posted the pics and p/n from the '66 parts book last night?
Any drive shaft places out your way?
Transmission shop may have it or know where to get. A&A?
There must be ways to handle that in the sales agreements. Need a real estate attny whos done that type of stuff before.
Where I worked after college, I think it was Cessna who still had the responsibility for cleaning up. Of course if we added to the contamination then responsibility could shift to the new owner.
Gotta head out now, to the Mens breakfast, so we can talk about the election....
Solved that problem. Stopped watching the telly years ago when my last housemate took it with her.
See post 244128
keep reading, i said that a couple posts down. I thought at first he meant the WHO they voted for, not if they voted
