It loses more than $6 million annually and became a target of federal officials looking to sell or lease underused government buildings.
Quote:
Trump prevailed with a plan to team up with California private equity company Colony Capital to invest $200 million in acquiring the building and turning it into a luxury hotel ...
Quote:
The government attempted to redevelop the Old Post Office in the 1980s, which led to the addition of a rear annex, but that space has long been empty and in disrepair, with broken tiles, exposed beams and unfinished storefronts.
Quote:
“Deciding to move forward with redeveloping this iconic property potentially will save millions in taxpayer dollars,” said Robert Peck, commissioner of the GSA’s Public Buildings Service, in a news release. “The tremendous response from the private sector allowed us to select a proposal that will
provide a positive economic return for the federal government and
better utilize a historic property on our nation’s Main Street.”


The government and Trump still must come to terms on a final financial agreement, one that governs the use of the building and preservation of its historic aspects, in the next 12 months.
Trump would lease the land from the government and
the clock tower would remain under the control of the National Park Service and open to the public
Link
Seems to be more of a win-win.

Have to say that gets my thumbs up too.
Better than razing the thing to the ground and building an office block.

I am irritated by my nose and mouth today. or I mean my skin is irritated in these areas.
Coming down from a cold but my lips are dry and itchy (I've had to hold off lipbalm due to coldsores) and my nose is throbbing because of all the blowing and wiping I've had to do.

Our new girl sat beside me today - she needs heavy-duty writing assistance.
Her nose was running like a tap. Although she is behind almost all of the children in our class in many aspects, in this one she was streets ahead. She asked permission to get herself toilet paper and when she'd used up her little stash she asked for more. As opposed to wiping her nose on her sleeve/ licking it directly from her top lip.

But it does make me wary that I may catch a new cold from her just as this one is finally abating...

They should raze Trump's head and build an office block.

Merlin (my 10 year old Australian Shepard) contracted Lyme's disease. We didn't know what was up with him, thinking he got into a dead deer or sprained his back... Poor bugger. Now he's on doxycycline and deramaxx, he appears to be high as a kite. So he's got that going for him.

Always a good idea to check your pets for ticks. Dad's dog gets them quite a bit. Paralysis ticks are the worst. I hope your puppy is better soon.

As to my irritation levels. They are high today. I'm going to visit my friend soon and we're going out for lunch. Maybe that will help. If I stay here I'm going to kill every member of my family.

Just to update any of you who were worried about me, I've had a nice day out with my friend and he son (who happens to be one of Aden's mates). I feel very much better now.

Watching the academy awards, and there's this annoying high pitched noise coming from both Billy Crystal's wireless mic and from the main mic. My wife can't hear it, but it's kind of bugging me.

We have it on mute with closed captioning on, and old time radio on for sound.
