When I was a kid, my mother saw an ad in the paper that the old hospital in Hominy, Oklahoma was being sold. She put in a bid for $5,700 and won. So she completely redid the interior and made it into 9 apartments. She furnished it beautifully with antiques which she bought at the Manford Auction and refinished herself. Later, she sold it, and I am still sad about the gorgeous furniture that got sold with it.
Around the same time, she bought 17 acres in Pawnee, Oklahoma and put in the curb and gutter, roads, utilities, etc, and made a subdivision, with 37 lots. She creatively named the streets after herself and my dad, Chris and Lin.
