Clean-Up Report
Just because I didn’t host any open houses yesterday doesn’t mean I took the day off (see, “Father’s Day Off“).
In fact, I showed two different clients ten homes in five different Twin Cities neighborhoods.
Including Minneapolis’ Camden neighborhood, which was slammed by tornadoes exactly one month ago.
Debris-Free
By now, most of the debris is gone (my fears of encountering a “war zone” were unfounded).
What I mostly noticed in the most heavily damaged neighborhoods– besides lots of uprooted tree stumps, heaved sidewalks, and a quilt of blue tarp patches on the roofs — was the tree-less boulevards.
In contrast to the leafy blocks just to the north and west, around 30th and Morgan the streets feel barren and wide-open.
The effect is almost like what you see in new developments way out in the ‘burbs, except in this case the homes are all 75-year old bungalow’s and Tudor’s.
