Location, location, location

Heard on NPR's Morning Edition today: The narrowest house in New York City is back on the market. It's a three-story home built in 1873 in Greenwich Village, 8 1/2 feet wide. Anthropologist Margaret Mead once lived in it, and Edna St Vincent Millay may have penned a poem in the narrow home.

You'll feel better about home prices in Kitsap County when you see the asking price:

$2.7 million. Up from its last selling price (2000) of $1.6 million. Location, location, location!

Forget Location..its all in the name!

There used to be a Lodge and restaurant located halfway between Delta Junction and Fairbanks Alaska owned by a guy really thin character named Richard. The tourists got a big kick out the name of the place
"Skinny Dick's Halfway Inn"
