Holy hell the neighborhood must suck:

Windows aren't even boarded.Someone will buy that, knock down the house, pay the taxes on it, and just sit on it for years. Someday, the city will want to put a road through there, or do something, take it, and have to pay him for it.

I wonder if they missed two zeros, when they put up the listing.

Either the dealers or the rats won, I think.

Watch the Intervention repeat this Sunday -- Gabe, the gambling addict is a real piece of work.

I don't know. I'm checking the agency site out of morbid curiosity (which is now down, so..) I don't have my city map inside, but I think that is a really bad part of the city. Looks to be the SW area. There are some real hellhole neighborhoods here. East Monroe (?) street looks like a warzone. Every sixth residence is NOT vacant and roof-collapsed and ...

Looks like baseball practice is going to be rained out tonight, so I'm heading home. Games tomorrow and Sunday.

Aimee, you've got either a misspelling or a joke I don't get in your tagline.
And if it's the latter, I demand it be fixed because you all are always having fun without me, dammit!

Oh, he was so very horrible and manipulative. His family needed the intervention more than he did!
Some of the addicts I feel very sorry for, and cross my fingers that they end up making it to sobriety, because it's clear there's a decent person in there somewhere. But others like Gabe, the addiction is in some ways the least of their problems. Actually, of the addicts they've had on the program so far, the gambling addicts seem to resist the most, I guess because a psychological addiction would have to be all the stronger by itself.
(The shopping addict also has a bunch of emotional problems -- it was interesting that she could overcome her agoraphobia by whipping herself into a frenzy of buying and squeeing and feeling fabulous -- only to crash later and then be unable to go a couple blocks from home. I hope she got some effective help.)
