003stuff and some small groups so the property that I had purchased about four or five months ago has been quiet and obsolete not being used for a while and We found somebody to kind of give that area a little bit of life But we are running into some zoning requirements for the parking I have been up there doing some work over the past couple of months and It's pretty quiet up there and it seems like a lot of the off-street parking that is up there doesn't generally get used based on um, it's Adjacent to the Ameritech property if you're familiar with the Vinewood area over there. So the parking seems to always be empty up in that area and Hopefully after you get a chance to hear Tara and if you have any other questions
