Real Estate

L and I are walking into a bank to deliver a large stack of papers comprising a mortgage application. We're having second thoughts about the house, I suggest we go look at it one more time, since it's just across the street. We walk over. It is oddly situated, being the lone house in a business district, but it also overlooks the harbor. Indeed, inside on the second floor there are sweeping views of the water from the main bedroom. We eventually settle down on the floor of the den watching television, while the current owners of the house wander around, seemingly not noticing or caring that we're there. Later we walk downstairs and then outside into the yard, where we discover that we're under a major freeway overpass, and sketchy characters are wandering around. I had liked the house to this point, but now it seems that we should definitely think twice.
