You may be out of work as an agent for The Company but that should give you more time to enjoy TV.

Gracie - I don't doubt your quote from the paper, but I believe that Edenville Path is in St. James and not St. Charles. Not that it makes any difference.

The only way we will ever know the truth about the ownership of The Daily Sun is when someone files a request under the Freedom of Information Act. Even then The Villages will probably plead immunity.

Who really cares. Its an advertising vehicle for the developer. Nothing more, nothing less. It is not even pretending to be a major news outlet.

I gotta give you Ohio folks credit, you keep getting up when knocked down. My dear old Grandmother was born in Ohio. She had spunk too.

My belief is not based on speculation or conjecture. This issue is of major concern to me. I have no axe to grind.

How Much Will a Sinkhole Affect My Home's Value? | eHow.com

Please take note of the information provided under the heading "Considerations" in the above link.


Considerations
Even when insurance companies extend coverage to properties prone to sinkholes; they have the option to deny coverage to a property owner purchasing a home within a one-mile radius of a sinkhole. Before buying a home, inspect the neighborhood and surrounding areas for signs of sinkholes, and inquire about the current presence of sinkholes with your real estate professional. Always get a homeowner's insurance quote and an additional sink hole coverage quote in areas prone to sinkholes before making an offer to purchase, in order to factor this additional cost into your monthly payment.

Thanks, your "i believe" was based on an internet article.

I played Yankee Clipper yesterday and the first hole has a sinkhole that goes under the cart path. They have a bench across the path that forces you to drive off the past and avoid danger.
