Believe it or not, this is a mostly residential neighborhood ... Remember the garage and home from postcard #1? This picture was taken in the alley behind that garage and home.

A real estate axiom: when purchasing property, be aware of the area's zoning. A property's location and the types of surrounding parcels largely affect real estate valuations. You may not want real estate that is an ISLAND among properties used in substantially different ways.

Save this postcard. It is the second of four you will receive before June 2000. It contains a clue that could help you answer one of the questions used to determine the winners of the $100.00 First Prize and the $50.00 Second Prize.

Good Luck,
Steve Grobl
