Home for Sale
Here's your chance. The house Bill & Hillary lived in when they taught at the law school here in Fayetteville is for sale.....for a price.
Real Estate Consultants appraised the 1,790-square-foot home at $199,000 -- $40,000 less than other appraisals of the home, according to the Greesons who want $285,000 to $300,000 for it....The structural assessment said the house is functional but needs about $75,000 in improvements, including repairs to a separation wall in the basement that is dislodged and strengthening the floor framing.
A little steep for a 1 bedroom, 1 bath house, but c'mon. Bill & Hillary were married there.
Mayor Dan wants to buy it & turn it into a museum (never mind that there's no parking on that street) but he can't get city approval in time. So he's pushing the University to buy it & work 'in partnership' with the city to turn it into a museum.
If I had the cash lying around, I'd buy it and burn that sumbitch to the ground.

Am I reading this correctly?
"Bill and Hillary Clinton, who lived in the home from August 1973 to December 1976, were married there Oct. 11, 1975, while they were members of the University of Arkansas' law school faculty."
Bill 'n Hill lived in, um, sin for two years?
'Scuse me while I fight off the guffaws.

If it can't be burned, it should definitely be fumigated.

It do appear they did, doesn't it Charles? Shameless hussy.
Ain't the truth, Jim? I swear one of the reason I was so glad to graduate from law school was so I would never EVER have to hear the story again about how Bill did such a wonderful job teaching Admiralty law his 1st year there even though he knew absolutely nothing about it.
Funny, they never said much about how Hillary did when she taught there.

Just because some of the prior tenenants were famous they want 285K. I like your idea better. I can't see how a 1bd 1bth house in Little Rock, Ar would be even close to being worth that. Nice to know the City/University can waste money like that.
