Title: 91-year-old woman turns down $600,000 offer for her old house
Post by: Greybriar on March 26, 2014, 10:07:48 AM
In 1946, Georgia Bell and her husband bought a one-bedroom home for $850 in Lawrence, Kansas. Now, a developer wants to buy Bell's home for $600,000 (http://newsone.com/2991216/georgia-bell-kansas/), but she refuses to sell.

The poor woman must have Alzheimer's!

What the heck is a 91 year old woman going to do with $600k? She's happy in her home... just wait her out.

In Kansas? They don't have to, there's still plenty. 600k is a lot of dough.
