Still it seemed odd to me that he wouldn't snap up a full park view, especially when buying in so early. Maybe a fact got mixed up long before Mama's story. It happens. So I dabbled around and am feeling pretty sassy right now. Please allow me my little moment! 8-C isn't a tower unit. It's smack dab front and center of the smaller building facing the park. <BR/><BR/>http://www.15cpw.com/home.htm<BR/>Go to Floor Plans<BR/>Click 3 bedroom <BR/>Click 7-11C<BR/>PDF is on that page, too.
