MORTGAGE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY. 12% INTEREST P.A., PAID MONTHLY, SECURED BY FOUR PRIME DOWNTOWN PROPERTIES. (Sign across the street, visible high up through the rain, umbrellas on the sidewalk, bus roofs running with water). Apparently everything is PRIME to a commercial leasing agent. That crack den on the corner, with the boarded-up windows, fire scars, and nagging piss-smell? PRIME! The "lower level" of the building on Sixth Street, which John and I investigated yesterday, only to discover that it was more accurately described as the "basement," windowless, invisible from the street, and reached by a narrow cattle-chute of stairs, also smelling of piss? PRIME! Those scrubby pines and muskeg by the side of the Duke Point Highway? LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! PRIME! The sad mall in Surrey, with the 1200-square-foot storefront tucked away behind the Cash Store, the Vietnamese grocery, and the shop selling Hindi karaoke discs? PRIME! Howard Ursuliak city, baby.
