Museum Tower

After a late impromptu breakfast on a Monday Mark and I wanted to hang out.
«I could see a movie.» He said.
«I’m on a budget.» I warned. «So it’s gotta be free or very cheap.»
«Let’s go tour museum tower!» Mark lightbulbed with his interest in architecture and Dallas happenings.
«Okay» I said with some hesitation, and before I know it we were in a fancy lobby with a beautiful older woman in all black taking a tour of the building and looking at model apartments.
«The building is still owned by Dallas police?» Mark inquired.
«Yes.» She gently confirmed.
Not many people know the tower is owned by Dallas Police pension fund.
«Do any of them live in the building?» Mark naively inquired.
With an eyebrow, «it’s considerably more than their salary would allow.»
I watched her size us up.
«The units start at 1.4 million and go up to 20 million, ranging from 2000 to 10,000 square feet respectively.» She sat poised in a leather club chair and a nice pancho.
«My budget is 2.5 million» mark bluffed.
«That’ll get you about 3500 square feet.»
she coddled.
The views, were spectacular. 10,000 square feet is an entire floor, and for a high rise, it is sleek and new.
«What’s going on with the window glare of the building and the art museums?» I asked.
«A disagreement between neighbors. Not a lawsuit.» She advised.
Dallas is still rich. At least, for some of us, including those with the bravery to pose a slight front, at least for a moment.
As the agent noted,
«everything is negotiable.»
