    I believe the city is getting stuck with the clean up bill regardless and they have an interest in getting it done as quickly as possible so people don't enter an area they've already determined is hazardous. I'm guessing the LLC only owns the building that now has zero value so suing the LLC to...

    I mean in theory you just need to raise 20% or whatever it will take to get a bank to sign off... But a business that wasn't making it before can't magically take on a mortgage payment that would be thousands of dollars per month. The first thing that needs to happen for it to become fully...

    MBB season tkt renewal

    They should be able to tell. If you have 17 games and the tickets are transferred to 17 other people you are scalping them. I have a set of 4. 2 get transferred to my brother. If Im selling the other 17 sets to 17 other people they should jack up the price and try to capture the scalpers...

    MBB season tkt renewal

    Inflation alone they should go up 4%. And with how poor our budget is compared to those we compete against it makes sense they have to figure out every way possible to generate revenue. Personally I'd like to see them jack up prices on obvious scalpers.

    I believe the City funded the lot cleanup. Haul out of contaminated soil from its days long ago as a service station. The building itself looks like absolute ****. With respect to Starbucks, was told today it was not insured by someone who would know. I think the fact that their posts say "we...

    I believe the fire chief came up with that. $175k structure and $100k for everything inside. I would be shocked if it could be rebuilt for that.

    I would guess someone is going to have to cough up some money to rebuild and reopen Starbucks in Nevada unless they have a wicked good insurance policy. I'd be surprised by that because they haven't put a dime into the building in 15 years. I would guess insurance check <<<< cost to rebuild.

    I don’t know now but a company I worked for previously did underground on a bunch of Kwik Trips in MN/WI and you got 70 days from the date they told you that you were starting to when they expected customers to be walking through the door. They paid promptly and were typically fair but the...

    Under Sink RO System

    I wanna say our RO system was $3k when we built our house. Lines to both fridges and taps in the kitchen and basement bar. We have dual 2.5 gallon tanks. We've never run out of water. One thing that a frighteningly small number of people do is sanitize their systems. Do that at minimum...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    Study after study shows the subsidies don't pay off for the taxpayers.

    Clearing trees in the Haunted Forest

    Be fun to see what city statute they cite for why. And even more fun for the hypocrisy to all be pointed out.

    Cytown Update

    I'm guessing the lease has stipulations in it for that exact scenario. Either landlord or tenant will accommodate. Landlord by moving potential parking pass holders....tenant by not booking appointments given a certain time period of heads up.

    I'm sure they would love to but providers have a hell of a time recruiting to Iowa.
