Not knowing the meaning of this, I had to look it up on Investopedia, and found this tidbit: "Reserve Fund: A business, such as one dealing with rental properties, will put some rental income into a fund used to pay for any unexpected repairs to the properties. Condominiums often will set up reserve funds in which condo owners pay a set monthly amount to maintain the quality of the condominium." Live and learn, I say. I wonder what happens to the reserve funds in case of fire. Just saying.Stephanhttp://twitter.com/stubbenkammernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-32515257473613433042012-08-10T21:23:51.805-05:002012-08-10T21:23:51.805-05:00My heart goes out to all those who lost property a...My heart goes out to all those who lost property at this fire. Sad as the loss of this building was, its profile and interior photos are still on a website of a realtor named Eric N. -- <a href="http://ericneumann.ca/mylistings.html/details-15143722" rel="nofollow">817 st paul Avenue</a>. There are 17 photos of the interior as it used to be, and a video. One can still hear the echo of the auctioneer's voice as he calls out, "Going once, going twice, SOLD, to the gentleman in the bowler hat (for $174,900)." It was listed here 10 June 2011, the building was built in 1911, and the fire was in December 2011. Coincidence? I hope so.<br /><i>Note to Christian</i>: I noticed that your link in the blog, entitled "here are interior shots", is defunct, as the WFP apparently no longer lists this address.Stephanhttp://twitter.com/stubbenkammernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-67059351190664904242011-12-30T22:43:43.436-06:002011-12-30T22:43:43.436-06:00Hi Christian,

However, everyone is safe, and that's the most important thing.

The whole place burned away & instantly I was left w/ nothing. It was quite a liberating experience. I truly took Tyler Durden's words to heart when he said "Stuff you own is owning you." With no stuff one is tends to look inside their heart & re-evaluate their life.<br />I saw this story on the CBC news & one of the tenants spoke to the camera crew. She was quite upset (obviously), but she also seemed quite smart &(also very attractive) thoughtful. I hope she reads this., I wish her well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-50922476958292248942011-12-28T22:29:31.225-06:002011-12-28T22:29:31.225-06:00Thought of you when I heard about the fire.

What began as small fires in much larger buildings -- such as the 1977 Beverly Hills Supper Club fire in suburban Cincinnati -- turned deadly because people didn't take fire alarms and evacuation orders seriously. Fortunately in this case, everyone got their arses moving fast enough to get out safely.The View from Sevenhttp://theviewfromseven.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-32158695378679246952011-12-28T19:24:17.275-06:002011-12-28T19:24:17.275-06:00Glad to hear all are safe.
