Patrick's 'empty nest' up for sale
Boston Globe ^ | 6/10/09

Posted on 06/10/2009 6:34:08 AM PDT by outpostinmass2

It has five bedrooms, nine fireplaces, and an expansive cook's kitchen for an owner who takes uncommon pride in his culinary skills. For Governor Deval Patrick, the stately Colonial on Hinckley Road in Milton also holds 20 years of family memories.

That aside, Patrick and his wife, Diane, are putting their house on the market for $1.925 million. They have declared themselves empty nesters, have decided to leave their beloved Milton, and are looking to buy a condominium in the city.

"The kids are gone, and I think Diane and I realized it had been months since the last time we were in the dining room," Patrick said in an interview yesterday, after a tour by three dozen realtors set off a buzz in his neighborhood. "It's just weird to have all that space and just the two of us and the dog rattling around in there. It's really time."

One daughter, Sarah, 23, graduated from New York University and is working in New York. Katherine, 19, will be a sophomore at Smith College next fall and is not living at home this summer.

Don't give him any ideas.

I just read (elsewhere) that a tree did fall on the White House lawn. No one was hurt. No property damaged.

But still...

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!

Very nice of the Globe to give him a free listing!
In Chicago, property transfer can be nice way to ‘spread it around’.

Actually maybe you did help me. I probably should have put it in front page news. I came to this conclusion even though of my apparent lack of common sense.

Why is it that Democratic politicians can be percieved as environmentalist and in touch with the comman person, when they live in a house of this size and obviously ..no neighbors close by?

Governor of Massachusetts, originally from Chicago, best buddy of Obama. He had the “Yes we Can” speech before Obama did.

Outpost, don't you think it's interesting that folks who think your post is ridiculous can't help but continue to chime in?

Kinda like the goons who whine about vanity posts (why the hell do they click onto them in the first place????) Screw 'em all.

Look at this way, I gave them some entertainment in their otherwise boring, petty lives. I see their point but this wasn't just a house being sold and no it wasn't a tree falling on a city councilman's yard. It's a state governor long rumored to be moving to D.C. creating an opening in Massachusetts selling his house. Speculation but I thought it warranted some attention.

Outpost, maybe you should've posted something relevant to the Free Republic agenda, like another useless thread about bikinis. Oh, wait. What does one have to do with the other?

But then again, a governor who may be considering stepping down to join 0bama's team, that doesn't warrant discussion here, either. ...right.

Don’t let the crybabies get to you, it’s their life mission to make others miserable, let them be miserable by themselves...........I live in MA and can fully understand where you’re coming from with the BREAKING NEWS. Thanks for posting this, I wonder how much longer coupedeville can deny he’s going to DC?

It WOULD be breaking news if it was a FReeper who was wearing that bathing suit.

You noticed I DID ping the usual suspects.

LOLOLOL

Use ad hominem on me should you like.

Asking for some semblance of order is ot to be equated with being a “crybaby” as you say.

If rules were not adhered to, the Breaking News area would be rendered meaningless.

And I do not understand how doing this “makes others miserable”. So Jim Rob makes life miserable by doing just what we were?????

Hey living legend give it a rest. I conceded the point a while back. The only one flaming going on is you your best buddy.
