H8S 4 LIFE Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Looking forward to having you.Mmm....I can still smell the cabbage. The older crowd here on the boards should know exactly what I'm talking about. Cottage Grove has went through some drastic changes over the years. Once inhabited by working class German immigrants, over the years Cottage Grove became a haven for riff-raff and drugs. It's worst point that I can remember would be during the 80's. Constant gang wars between Cottage Grove and West End typically ended with someone's life being lost. After re-development began in the mid 90's all of this changed. Going through Cottage Grove for the first time in several years last week really opened my eyes as to just HOW much The Grove and West End have both changed, and all of it for the better. You can't ask for better access to the Galleria, The Heights, or Downtown. A simple ride down Larkin quickly puts you on I-10 and away you go. If I knew then, what I know now, I would have certainly bought property in The Grove back 20 years ago or so.I won't leave the younger crowd out in the cold. The old nickname for Cottage Grove was "The Cabbage Patch" because you could pass through and smell the cabbage the German immigrants were cooking throughout the neighborhood.

Norhill Dennis Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Be careful if you buy an Intown Home. They have a $5000 'non-refundible' deposit written into the contract. A new client of mine got stuck for $5000 after she backed out because she couldn't get a full inspection done. Just a word of warning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a word of warning!Always read the ENTIRE contract and no matter what they tell you, it is 100% negotiable. 100%. If they say 'everyone signs x, don't worry about it,' but x sounds bad to you, cross it out. If they so no, walk out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISMDAVID Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Has anyone else noticed at least 2 new billboards being erected along North Durham between 11th and 26th Street this week? As if this street wasn't full of enough visual pollution already. This must be part of the agreement that was made some time ago to remove and "relocate" some of the city billboards.

20thStDad Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Until someone buys up empty or unused lots and redevelops this I expect this will only happen more. Oh well. Maybe they'll put some cool pictures up at least, doesn't affect how I sleep (and I live a couple blocks from Durham). Also, my son is due to be born next month, and if he's going to be a teenage hoodlum like his pop he's going to need billboards to climb up and make trouble on. I prefer there be options close to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, is Durham a thoroughfare or a road through a neighborhood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee_in_TX Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Without ANY research - I thought Houston passed some law giving billboards a finite life, and from the point of the ordinance on no new billboards, and whena billboard reaches its finite life, it comes down?Also, my wife is in media sales. She says industry studies show billboards are actually a waste of advertising money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
