Perfect!
Now where’s the post with the bell?
HIgher doesn’t help!
But, thanks for trying.
The bottom floor of that condo has a nice green house.
Is that the White House ...in real time? ;P
that’s something you’d expect to see in the Madistan-land: architectual representations of Western Civilization turned upside-down.
9 1/2 feet wide? Hell,*I’m* almost 9 1/2 feet wide!
Chonqing, China: Mrs Wu Ping was the only person from 241 properties who refused to leave. She battled with contractors and bids for almost 3 years before caving in April of 2007 for quite a pretty penny!
Narita Airport, Japan: Farmers are refusing to give up their land in the middle of this airport in Japan. The runway is only half usable because of their refusal to relocate. They are currently a literal stones throw away from the flight path and have to be living an earth shaking experience.
Seattle, Wa: Edith Macefield's refused to sell her home even after she was offered more than 1 million dollars. She is gone now, but her legend lives on and her house remains, surrounded by new development.

Washington DC.--In 2006, Austin Spriggs was happily living in a house that would soon become a thorn in the side of local developers. Such a thorn in fact that Mr Spriggs was offered more than $3m for the property in 2008 even though the property was previously only worth an estimated $200k. Needless to say, he turned the offer down and then proceeded to take out a loan to convert the building into a pizza joint. As you can see, the building is absolutely dwarfed by the surrounding developments.
Changsha, China
On the most commercial street in Changsha, China, there stands this almost unkempt looking home with multiple tenants and a commercial business that's been opened downstairs.
I like the cement pond.
