[OldNorth] Old North Imagery, Enterprise, 5-17-06

[sheryl lynn gerety]

John:
	There is a deeper irony here. . .small semi-decrepit cottages in ON  
regularly sell for as much or more than houses 50 years younger and 2-3  
times as large in the outlying 'burbs.'  Market value, yes, but also  
the old and venerated real estate wisdom: Location, location, location.  
    In using ON as an example, the writer misses the whole point about  
value.
