I've only seen plans for it as an office building. There were dozens of small rooms and I have always wondered what the developers did to it to make them livable. And how did you get into the basement of the bank?

At night I would prowl in the basement of the Farmers & Merchant bank. Didn't find any ghosts or buried treasure.

I think they would be interested. <BR/><BR/>Don't you think this reflects badly on the publishers as well as Frey? Lackluster fact checking, inability to promote a book... I mean how exactly do they earn their money?Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245734799591856958noreply@blogger.com
