I didn't do it!!!

Over the last four years I’ve watched as an old, ramshackle motel near my home:

1. Got graffitied
2. Closed
3. Reopened
4. Closed again
5. Fenced off
6. Rehab started…new windows, doors and paint
7. Rehab stalled
8. Graffitied, again
9. Rehab restarted, again
10. New bathroom fixtures
11. Rehab stalled, again.
12. Windows broken
13. Graffitied, again

I’ve often thought the site would be an excellent location for an Express Exterior. Massive traffic count, busy traffic-signaled intersection, easy ingress and egress, plenty of property. I wondered how the building could be reconfigured or simply razed and rebuilt. The neighborhood could use an upgrade.

I kept my dreaming to myself and wondered what would become of the blighted property.
Well…yesterday, the demolition expense just dropped significantly…

I’ve also seen this in carwash industry too with property owners that make money using the “rope-a-dope” strategy. Why does rope-a-dope work?

The reason is there is often enough business to seem intriguing but not enough to sustain the business in long run.

Unfortunately, the dopes don’t see this.

I always love it when a good plan comes together.
