Looks like something out of a Mafia movie.

I would say just over 25 grand in your dollars.

I tried to find your new place. I found a couple on that road that were for sale, but I don't think any were the one.

Its a 4 sale by owner.....sorry its off the market, find your own....lol

Actually there is a nice place a little further down, its got river front, a nice shop etc. we liked it, but the house was too small for the family, it was only about 1420 sq'.

If you buy it we will live less than a km apart.....and you could walk up and shovel my snow all winter, and cut my grass all summer.

I did like the riverfront aspect a lot though.
I could fish from my own yard.

I wasn't looking to buy, just trying to figure out which it was. OH and even if I lived in your back yard you would still be the one doing the snow removal and lawn cutting.

Yes, but that would negate all the fun of leaving the house for the day to go fishing.


Mafia car would have been black.

That's the color the cops are looking for. No one suspects a blue or green car.

I thought they mostly looked for yellow and brown....you know, the colours on a Timmy's sign.
