I really feel sorry for you, $800 for taxes. My property tax for last year was over $2000, for a small lot with a tract house.

No, I meant an additional $800 over last year.
Which means that you are 1 of the
very few whose property went up
in value Buckles while most of us
watch as ours fall unbridled
CHEAP. Try living on a small plot in Bergen County NJ.
Sincerely,
$2,448.40 per quarter
Those elephant tubs look awfully familiar... ah, yes... the entrance to the Woodstock Estate. (By the way, are they still considered 'tubs' if they don't hold water?) ~frank
On the subject of taxes... Is $800 over last year really all that much when you see all of the improvements that have been made to the beautiful hinterland of Ruskin?
My house assessment is currently $85,000, but a similar house in my block (in better shape)just sold for $68,000. The recession is not over by any means.

I wonder how much the franchise for a combination Hooters-Crispy Creame would cost?
I could set it up on the back forty.
As long as you spell it like that
the donut shop won't cost much but
Reminds me of Tommy Cooper's 500
license plates that read Ringing
Bros that he had to do over
If you wanted to use the Krispy
Kreme title it would be costly
I can't imagine that you could
get your 1st idea past the Empress
How about a just a big mud pit for
pig (or lady) wrestling
Anyway, I'd probably get some heat from the almost completed church across the street.
I thought I might work the blow offs on Sunday afternoons.
Them would sure be ripe for the
pickin but perhaps a family type
garbage & grab joint would work
Kay & Jamie would slaughter em
but you'd never get a fair share
Maybe you and Chic can start a BBQ joint there or better yet how about a jam auction (of course you can only do that once in a while).

Buckles -
I don't know if you remember the bruhaha over opening the Hooter's on Brandon Ave/SR 60/Adamo Drive about 15 years ago. We were fairly new to the area and you would have thought that a brothel was moving in next to the church parking lot. ~frank
