Tiffany Apartments

[seaofchange]

We're actually voting them out of the pool.

cant stop laughing. this whole scenario is just wonderful. there needs to be webcams set up, somehow. i really want to be there if the sleeper and her ex reconcile.

[lasomeday]

I'm with you! Can we set up some sort of webcam?

Let me see what we can do on the webcam! I will keep you posted. I think most of the good stuff happens after dark!

I have a webcam I can send you if you can provide a computer and vantage point.

This could be better than the Devon Tower cam.

OK, let me check with my coworker.

I guess he was here late last night and the sleeper got back with her man and dog. They loaded up in an SUV with another suspect couple and went out for the night.

We are planning on getting some beer sometime soon and meeting these people down by the pool. Kind of a welcome to the neighborhood party. We think they will have some good stories to tell!

Love wins!

I bet they all headed to Vast to celebrate.

These seem like more practical people and people of good taste. I'm sure they settled on Ludivine instead.

The sleeper and her man spent the night out by the pool in bliss! They finally got up... But here is a pic of the couple spooning.

I have a huge pack of Black Cats left over from 4th of July. I'll donate them and you can run up there, light the whole thing and toss it over the wall.

Yesterday, I had a long and interesting talk with the owner of this property, Glenn Ferguson.

He's embarrassed about the state of the place and has said they have done everything they can to secure it, but people are cutting through the fencing, etc. They are going to take another pass at it very soon.

The delays have to do with a snafu by the City. When the property was purchased several years ago, the buyers were told the old storm sewer line that ran along the back of the property had been removed for a new double line that had been installed in the front. In fact, the City no longer even had an easement for the old line.

But after they shuttered the building to begin the remodel and expansion, they discovered the old line had not been removed and was still active. The cost of removing it was completely prohibitive, as the original plans called for underground parking in that area.

So, they had to go back to the drawing board and scale back their plans. There will still be a new addition; 1 level of covered parking and two levels of apartments above. The tower will be gutted down to the poured-in-place concrete walls and renovated into high-end apartments.

I should have the latest renderings soon. And hopefully this project will start to move forward again.

Thanks for the update Pete. I would assume so but I wonder if nearby businesses have also spoken up on its condition. More specifically the Dave and Busters, Hampton Inn, and the school to the south.

This place is getting a weirdly Melrose Place feel to it...albeit a post-apocalyptic Melrose Place, but still.

The owner has been in communication with the surrounding property owners so they know what is going on.

Is the double line out front real, or were they completely lied to by the previous owners?

They ended up only putting in a single line and keeping the old one in the back, but somehow that all got lost in the shuffle and nobody knew about it until they ran all the tenants out and looked to start work.

Thanks for the update Pete. I translate all that into hopeful signs for something much nicer. I am glad to hear they are going to gut to the concrete walls as the apartments were very small before. Thanks again!

Sleeper and her doggie's daddy are back this morning. They scored a bike overnight!

I think the Copper Guy drives the white truck that is parked at Hampton everyday. He steals copper all day and night and leaves in the white pickup.

Any luck on getting good photos or video of him, his truck and a tag number?

[Richard at Remax]

Ahh the Burbs. Very underrated movie.

I just drove by the property to take a gander and saw the sleeper, the dog (white dog with black specs, not sure what breed, maybe German shepherd or, at least, that build) and sleeper's husband. They were staked out at the parking garage of the building to the west (New York something rather, the tall, red office building) and she walked from the parking garage to the dumpster of the Tiffany and then back. I saw the white bike as well. Were they evicted from the Big Brother House recently?

[warreng88]

I'm pretty sure I saw the sleeper panhandling at the Expressway exit from Hefner Parkway going north. I'm almost positive it's her. I can't imagine there are two people with the exact same pair of terrible jeanshorts...

Copper Guy makes for an interesting problem.
Ma and Pa Sleeper invite Copper guy to hang out by the pool one night. Everyone passes out.
Meanwhile Ned Newcomer sees the white truck, hot wires it and drives away, stolen copper and all.
When Copper Guy wakes up, does he call a copper?

Here is the latest rendering. Note apartments above covered parking in the back:

Well, everybody will compare this to the earlier possibility and be disappointed, but this would look 100x better than what's there now.

Hey, at least there's no water running out of the building in the rendering.
