This is something I'd like to do. Seems like the ownes made the most of a good deal (50k). And you weren't exaggerating about the cool house. It's awesome (time to remove the Christmas decorations, however).
it is the younger people with brains, talent and creativity who will be the saviors of buffalo.
what a wonderful accomplishment for these owners!!!
Or you could check out Buffalo Rising which had this story..oh I don't know...about a 100 years ago.
