On the Market

Yes its is now listed on realtor.com ... its the bungalow on Albert Street in zip code 71301, the house number is 1823.... 

My realtor, who happens to be an old friend, who works for another member of our great portion of our great society.  

The market price is $185000, three times plus what I paid for it in 1997.

There is a major out of town person who wants the ten dollar tour so I am cleaning making everything look good... have to see what this Saturday Tour does with the Out of Towner prospective buyer.

Remembering Jo Betty

 Oh July 28, 2022, Joel Elizabeth Blanchard Sterkx passed away, during the last 30+years I have lived in this neighborhood, Jo Betty as she was known to all was a Spirit that stirred public outcry, emotion, and loyalty.  Jo Betty was The Garden District of Alexandria, her Spirit roams still.... her presence is felt daily.


I has fortunate to be included in the inner circle of her friends, along with her husband Richard Sterkx, kindly known as Dick, she revitalized this neighborhood.  Along with Dick, they took 17 rundown, some abandoned properties  and brought new life to old structures.... Brought single families to share the known experience..... known to all as The Garden District....   I was privileged to be a close part of her and Dick's vision, thoughts and dreams, which... in the end... all came true.... She and Dick saved these streets.
