Or “only about ten acres” — of downtown Dallas.

Or “only about ten acres” — of downtown Dallas.

I bought a used car from a fella in Dallas in 2006. Got over to his place and it was a dilapidated farm about twenty acres in size - right in the middle of downtown.

Chatting with the guy, he said that the property had been in his family for many generations, and that he was the last surviving member of his immediate clan. His plan was to sell the old family farm and buy another chunk of land far outside the city.

When I asked him how much he was being offered for the place, he just grinned and said, "I'm embarrassed to say, but I'm gonna be in very good shape."
