Interesting front page article about Preston Wright & Philip Blackburn who bought a foreclosed fixer-upper on the East Side of St. Paul. When the house went on the market, the oven contained a whole roast turkey left when the previous inhabitants moved out a month or two earlier.

Maybe some of the Twin Cities contingent know these guys.

I thoght I smelled fish.........

That must have smelled MAH-VE-LOUS!

What a mistake/ oversight!

One has read that revenge against a lanlord is much more effective with a large fish, wrapped in newspaper and buried in the wall behind the refrigerator. One simply pathces the wall and paints. By the time the LL figures it out, there is there is all manner of insect and rodent infestations running about. Far too cruel and destructive, IMHO.

As Phyllis Diller once said...

"Last week I put a turkey in the oven and forgot to turn it on. I learned why they call it 'fowl'"

I used to live on that side of town before moving to Hastings. It was still fairly nice when I first moved to the Cities, but all the illegal aliens and crime got to be too much. A headline like this doesn't surprise me in the least.
