SynerGeo Building/Steinmann Storefront Sold

I erroneously reported it as sold once before, but I just heard from a reliable source that the SynerGeo building at the corner of Albemarle and S. Laurel has in fact sold. SynerGeo staff is selling some of the office furniture right now (call 648-2887 during the daytime ASAP) as they move into the SynerGeo office into Pine Street Baptist Church.

Many Oregon Hill residents are hoping that the new owner will put glass back into the storefront and return the property to its original purpose as a small business.
