    I am so ready for spring.
    I ordered five butterfly bushes yesterday.
    So I still have faith.

    Susan;

    I really feel that the lofts would be fantastic.
    Vintage outside, state of the art(with keeping the character of the building)on the inside.
    Love those high ceilings.
    Have a great week and thanks for coming by!

    The Factories that were here, some have been turned into Outlet Malls, where you can buy things new for next to nothing.

    It would be nice to rent a loft here.
