Of course the old houses in this area now cost a fortune to buy considering that 20 years ago no-one wanted them.jlonithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08786212777760178771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462500305642907315.post-67420695418233022042010-09-10T08:24:46.670-05:002010-09-10T08:24:46.670-05:00Nicole,
