Exploring SE and Longview

Sun, 06 Feb 2005 23:59:59 -800

Sunday started in a similar vein: Jason got up ridiculously early and I got up
rather late. After a long and slow brunch, we decided to go back to SE and see
if we could find any open houses to look at. Unfortunately, it was Super Bowl
weekend *and* SE Portland: we found a bunch of bungalows that had _just_ been
sold and a five bedroom $405k house that, while nicely decorated upstairs and
well remodeled and updated, had a downstairs that didn't even come close to
matching. I'm now suffering from a case of sticker shock, though even in SE
there really arent't many small houses above 300. There are pricey big ones.
In any case, the house that I saw had a lot of interesting features--old style
windows complete with distortions in the glass, actual wooden trim on the door
and window frames. Anyway, something to think about. Oh, and Jason got a
picture of an IBM typewriter store. (a5030119)
