Well.....
I went into Surrey after work, camera in hand, and a story to dig out. I'm back, full from dinner, tipsy from drinks and tired from talking with my girlfriend about why I was doing this. Here goes.
I had all the necessary tools heading into the journey.
Two cans of Diet Coke, check.
Map to the house, tape and an OWNED Mazdamp3.com sign. Check
Coming up to 129st. Nice.
Turned onto 129th. 100th Ave. is up ahead on the left. The tension and excitment are palpable inside the Protege.
I'm at the crossroads.
Turning the corner onto 100th, what I had in the back of my mind was realized. A For Sale sign, no driveway, and no car out front.
Upon closer inspection, its revealed it shouldn't be 2Loww, it should be 2Poor, or 2 frickin' lazy to live out of squalar. I mean try putting your shoes inside already. The lawn furniture out front, stacked with garbage and the general ghetto condition/upkeep is a strong selling point.
A walk up the "walkway" if you could call it that, leads to no answer. Dammit. But my Spider senses were tingling, so I looked for another way. And there is was, in the background, behind the weeds. An alley.
There is the back of this estate. In the garden grows weeds, and tall grass, hard to maintain and of show winning quality. Also, an overturned sofa, and uninsured truck, receding into the overgrowth, all adding to the saleability of this fine property.
Another lap out front to take a closer snapshot of the For Sale sign. Its name and number are to be put to use tomorrow to try and get more intitimate contact information from the owner. To confirm it is in fact Jamie, "2Loww" and to try and get a home or work land phone for me/us to hound him on. Maybe I should also drop a huge offer on his house and take a tour. Inside pics, wouldn't that be classic. Its almost a done deal in my head, I need to get inside the house ( or warehouse perhaps for 2Loww Inc. ).
Feel free to give his realtor, Bill a call at 604-583-2000 and make bogus offers on the house.
Overall I'm disappointed with the fact no one answered, and the fact no vehicle exsited for me to Punk with the Owned sign. Be warned, this isn't over though.
