Quoted from Gizmonic:

Doesn't John Weeks still own the property? The "For Lease" sign has his company "Weeks Investment Group" on it.
Ron...

Well, then he'd better come down and get 'em, 'cause I've got a feeling they're not going to last long now.

Yes, he owns the property and, as I recall, was going to lease it out to a 420 outfit as a growing facility and make good money on the lease. I don’t think he was going to sell the property.

It just looks like the MOP buildings are sitting empty.

Was it this one?

(I didn't EVEN bother to look in the back box!)

How cool is that? No, not the ridiculous rewiring job; I'm talking aboot the newer Bally "bottom arch" installed in Zip-A-Doo. I did the same thing to my first pin, a Bally Galahad. I used a Bow and Arrow version as they were on the assembly line at Bally when I paid a visit. The late, great, Tony Brocato walked across the street with me and took me on the assembly line. He grabbed one from a production storage rack and handed it to me. He was a greta guy....

Quoted from RCA1:

Get a hardhat, a safety vest, and a clipboard. No one ever even looks twice, whatever you do. My plan is to attend the Super Bowl that way.

Yup...be like Mike...

He owns it...? Why on earth did he liquidate everything and act like he had no choice?

If you scroll back, I think they were going to lease the secondary buildings to the grow operation. There are limits on how big of a building the grow operation can be in, and there are limits to what can be around it.

Maybe he's just still trying to lease out the other buildings. Were the other secondary buildings showing signs of life?

No. He's got a ton of Fireworks and Halloween trailers parked on the West side of the property.
