Quit making America suck. Move to China if you like Communism so much. <br /><br />As it sits I am the next in line to inherit it. If you think that I have any qualms about razing the entire property just to spite everyone in this god forsaken shit hole of a town then you should think again. <br /><br /><br />Keep clamoring for the seizure of private property though. You're just making my blood boil all that hotter. And giving me all the more reason to destroy that horrible symbol of racism and hatred that has long since worn out it's welcome. <br /><br />I bet Walmart would pay a pretty penny to pave that bitch and put a super center there. :D Shall we find out?

That might wake up these folks at Sweetwater about who's taking care of their children.<br /><br />As for a lawsuit, it would be horrible if Gooch actually harmed any children, but it would take years to settle. Smithson would obviously sell and send the proceeds to an offshore account before the suit came to trial. That would be your best bet to get the property into the right hands.South Boundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369389197192186238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897682110624528688.post-40813018046411358992012-02-20T12:53:51.865-08:002012-02-20T12:53:51.865-08:00We have tried to be fair in our comments.

Apparently those now in control of the property do not care what kind of lies they tell about others who have nothing to do with this site. We have also attempted to stay away from undocumented accusations concerning the owner and those who work for her. However, since some (those who currently control the property) are not so scrupulous, we are requiring that you register to comment.

They could buy it at its appraised price which isn't much and then make it into an eastern visitor center. Otherwise it's just going to fall down around those women's heads.South Boundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369389197192186238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897682110624528688.post-42057325538559556442012-02-13T21:01:30.458-08:002012-02-13T21:01:30.458-08:00I'm a member of a real estate consortium.

Didn't Harry Norman Realty of Atlanta have to sue Ms. Smithson in Lauderdale County Circuit Court (and win) to collect its commission after she reneged on a sale? Seems to be a matter of public record that Smithson has left many folks, including realtors, holding the bag.scblawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317703189876484466noreply@blogger.com
