Interesting Piece in Boston Globe -Willowbend Status,, Suits, etc
« on: February 09, 2009, 12:16:58 PM »
This article encompasses many of the themes discussed here.

       I particluarly like the quote " How would you like it if the person who sold you the house calls you up after 10 years and says I'd like to sell you the house again"?

Can't help but think that  Paul Fireman in the picture here bears a reasonable resemblance to  Rodney Dangefield  of  " Caddy Shack" fame.

How about this:

http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/02/09/suit_takes_divot_out_of_clubs_fame/?page=full

FWIW, I think the guy featured in the article is acting the fool. He spent more than a million on a house and $150K initiation and never checked the facts?

And, in this economy, it seems as if Fireman's offer is fair enough, if expensive. He's guaranteeing losses for four years and has an 80% money-back if the deal falls through.

The place is clearly a top-level facility that is suffering like a lot of other clubs in today's economy.
