and the rumors are true

Dear Resident: This letter is to inform you that the building you reside in has been sold... New Ownership will be converting the buildings to condominiums later this year.

Well, fuck. We liked it here.

We could try to buy it, but the weirdnesses here make us unsure that we'd want to be tied to it, and the glut of similar projects happening all over the twin cities seem to insure that it wouldn't be easily resellable. And even if it was perfect and we wanted to buy it, and we could afford it, we'd be displaced during conversion anyway.

So, we don't know when we're kicked out, the letter was a form letter and purposely vague. But I guess we're moving this summer.
