You highlight in the photo photo is of the property that is for sale thru Re/Max. In the bottom of the photo you have included another property with a building on it that the city owns. I am only guessing but if some one bought both the Re/Max property and the city property there would be room for the needed parking.

I have no idea if the gentlemen that own the Narrow Gauge Gift shop would be interested in selling or not. As far as photos from their 2nd floor??? I have been told the upstairs will be open late in the fall so I know I can get up there then.

I believe you are talking about a lot of additional money. Where is it going to come from???
