The 2 guys that owned the place used it as a get-a-way and to play cards. The guy that lived there sold roses and sometimes I'd help sell roses with him as I was in college and bored. Ha! The place inside is not that spectacular. Mirrors, lots of shaggy carpet, a super tiny kitchen, teeny bathroom and a closet made into a bedroom. Glenn if you're reading this I miss ya ROSES ROSES!
