Nuthouse for sale, sold!

Really, I swear that I'll get off of the ACORN coverage very soon. At the least I promise that I won't do any more ACORN round-ups. How about that? Is that a happy medium?

At any rate, I thought I would share this bit of news with you. Via Kyle Olsen at Big Government: Infamous New Orleans ACORN HQ SOLD!:

Anyone in the market for a creepy former funeral home whose major claim to fame is miraculously housing over 200 organizations? Word is, you’re out of luck.
Apparently an offer has been accepted for ACORN’s long-time headquarters on Elysian Fields Avenue in New Orleans, on the edge of the 9th Ward. SEIU 100, which Rathke founded, was also headquartered in that building.

I visited that location in late July to see it for myself, as a colleague and I were in town to attend a Wade Rathke book signing that evening. Because of our straight-forward questions and unedited answers, Wade Rathke called us “Infiltrators.”
Upon seeing the building for sale (which he had seen in b-roll video footage before), we check out the listing on the website of French Quarter Realty. Other information can be found at Realtor.com, which basically a massive nation-wide Multiple Listing Service.
ACORNcracked.com obtained this information packet for the property, including interior photos.
When we checked in late July, the property was listed for $885,000. It was $835,000 when an offer was made and accepted. We won’t know the selling price until the deal actually closes.
