Julian's America II: Electric Boogaloo

[sweetcell]

I think we need a JA ruling on this house in Detroit

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/450-W-Grixdale-Detroit-MI-48203/88441972_zpid/

This listing just broke me. Wtf.

let us hold a moment of silence for the poor real estate agent who had to prep and list this thing. 

they really did the best they could with that write-up:
Unique barely begins to describe this one of a kind Grixdale Farms estate. Every aspect of “Lion Gate Estate” has been articulated with painstaking attention to detail and mind blowing decorative flair. Too many custom features to list!  Highlights include heated swimming pool with outdoor shower and cabana.  Custom two car garage with hand painted automotive murals. Partially finished basement with entertainment area.  Fenced in yard with fountains and statuary.  Once in a lifetime offering. Only shown on sunny days.

can you imagine what this monstrosity looks like on a dark, gloomy day?!?

yeah i picked up on the only see on sunny day... i also noted the only decent room in the house was the partially finished basement.,,

i guess the question is do all the statues and furniture convey...  and is it being sold as is due a death in the family

update they have been trying to see the joint since 2018 and it's gone through 3 agents in that time.. it was at once listed at 600K which is what a really nice house in the Grosse Pointes would go for

what the heck was going on in that elvis themed basement.  tables seem to be set up for something?

I missed that only shown on sunny days bit...that's great
Good think that listing wasn't in Seattle, you could only show it 10 days a year

HEY TAKE THAT BACK

the second half of june, july, august and september (mostly) are amazing sunny months here.  seriously, PNW summers are unbeatable.  we refuse to travel in the summer because it's so perfect.

the other 8-9 months of the year suck wet soggy ass and make you question your life decisions.

How many ACTUAL sunny days happen in that almost 3 month span -- I'd say, 20 tops...come on man, its a joke for a reason

I visited in August and can confirm...awesome weather, would go again

When I visited it was like Spring in DC!

I think the electric one is coming out soon

Amazing in theory but the execution was a little off. The gas fumes led to the vapors. I still think Big Fainting Couch was behind this invention.

What's your beef with Subaru's?  Is it the lesbian marketing?

I actually got engaged in a long convo about this and I am apparently unaware of both subarus rep as a lesbian and gentrifier vehicle.

This is my exact neighborhood, albeit I’m on the more southern, less “currently gentrifying” side.

I actually got engaged...as a lesbian and gentrifier... .

Congratulations!

Should likely be Juilan's nom de plume

Julian, ALLEDGED lesbian and gentrifier...

when i moved to the PNW, i quickly learned that Subarus are the expected, default brand of vehicle.  it's as if they should issue every new arrival an Outback just to ensure social cohesion - if you don't have one, do you really even live here?  subaru dealers compete with each other by advertizing how short their waiting lists are. on the upside, they hold their resale value extremely well thanks to demand.

some to think of it, a very large portion of the population here is lesbian and/or a gentrifier so i guess this checks out.

Well known in my neck of the woods...

Led to a wonderful conversation when my dad bought his a couple of years ago.
