    I was worried earlier today that maybe the BHB as we knew it was imploding, but better late than never, Claude!

    Pretty sure behind those flowers is the goldfish pond that was hidden all these years, until the fence was removed.

    Anyone want to claim the yacht with the built-in helicopter parked in the BBP marina?

    The owner is Larry Van Tuyl, former owner of the the fifth-largest car dealership group in the U.S. before it was sold to Berkshire Hathaway nine years ago.

    Unless you deal in one of the brands that died. Not too many Tucker, AMC, etc., dealers around now.

    We remember the AMC Pacer, and the Gremlin LONG before the SUVs.

    Today the Cadillac Escalade a VERY comfortable ride.

    Mr. Scales,

    We forgive your tardiness; we are glad you are doing well.

    TGIF!

    Looks like Chama Mama is getting closer to opening. The dining area and bar are set up and if I’m correct, I thought I saw staff in there yesterday. So exciting for the neighborhood!
