Another Old Home in Fort Worth

This one is next door to the other one we show. Both are old mansions of owners of bygone days. The could have been bankers, lawyers, cattle barons and oil men. But they are gone and so is the generations after them. This home is just a well kept in appearance as it appears.

When we drove by the people you see were setting up chairs on the front lawn for what looks like a wedding. You can gust see that to the far right of the picture. the car in the fore ground is a guest arriving. It does look like an ideal place to have a wedding since her daddy is footing the bill. One sure bet in today's climate, it will be another marriage in the future for some of them.

There are a very few of these homes left and then they to will be gone someday. The Berkley edition on the near south side is full of large older homes of the 20-30's. There are blocks and blocks of them. I would put the price range in today's market at 433k to 700k. They are mostly very large two story and a few three story homes. In this time period most of these homes had partial to full basements. The square footage would be in the 8k to 15k range on some of them. Just very large. But there are some smaller two and single story homes mixed in. And with the natural gas drilling we see in the area, these same homes will be getting royalty checks in the mail should the proposed drilling permit be passed.

Not much else to say, I did get a call from the Hobbs, NM police about my complaint. I left it that my credit card bank would be doing any follow up and not me since it was or would have been their money. I got one lawsuit now, sure don't need a second.

Gas in the area runs from #2.35 to $2.70. Yes, you read it right, TWO DOLLARS AND CHANGE. Go RV'ing and drive safe. I will be getting new shoes on our coach this week if the weather stays dry. $372 for Goodyear G670 series, load range "g". That's a hundred twenty less than Camping World and the same warranty by Goodyear. See ya down the road later.

And if John and Marie still read this blog, see ya when you get there.
