Do you know where Walney Plantation is/was? Not much is left, but there is a national park where our family plantation was.

They have some very nice houses and condos in the area circling the park. Guessing homes were going for $600K or more. When we drove through there a couple of years ago I could feel the money leaving my family chest. It actually hurt.

Did you check out Machen Rd on the other side of I-66?

Don't think so. Will this cause more sadness?

Not unless strip malls, churches, townhomes, condos, and a library bothers you. (but we won't say anything about the day laborer gathering spot). Sounds like Anywhere USA, right?

Sounds like what would have been prime commercial real estate income

If by some chance Granny had kept her 1,000 acres- what would my bank account look like now?

You'd be spending your winters in Palm Beach.

Nah, I'd be at the Verizon Center watching the Caps, but I might take a week or two for a trip to Florida for Spring Training.

You might've had enough to buy into the Caps when Leonsis was at his low point a few years back and had to bring in additional investors. C'est la vie!

We can still get you there, Blue. I'm going to start a thread soon on drinking wine to beat the new depression. A recent visit to DCFan's Trader Joe convinced me that one can drink fairly well on a limited budget. However, research continues.....

Good tie-in, I believe Trader Joe's sits on the former Machen estate.

HEY NOTLD should have posted his new arrival here too! Reagan MacKenzie IS a new member. We should try to come up with a moniker for her!

R-Mac has been suggested.

Little Mac (as opposed to Big Mac)

R lil Mac

I believe NotLD would be upset at the prospect of coming up with a contrived nickname for his offspring.

So, what's your point?

cmdterps44 · « **Reply #794:** April 02, 2009, 11:25:49 AM »

Lets just name her Big Mac. Its one of those things I should know since my intro to lit class went over it a few days ago.... Giving something a name thats totally opposite?

ie Tiny for a big guy
ie Speedy for a slow guy

CALSGR8 · « **Reply #795:** April 02, 2009, 11:27:51 AM »

Yeah, but McDonalds may have a case against you.

Eh, well were not planning on selling her for profit are we?

(just making a point)

Unless I got the whole trademark / copyright thing wrong (which again I just learned in business... i forget things to easily)

Spectacular.

Apparently the dwindling economy has taken a bite out of Chief's moderation pay. How did this DONKEY get an account?

Where's that Ignore option. I was glad this guy wasn't posting at the other board.
