I&#8217;m sure if you asked my wife, she&#8217;d have expected it to be all over with about two weeks ago. However, we encountered two unexpected surprises: 1) &#8220;Honey, what&#8217;s that dripping sound coming from the TV ?&#8221; &#8212; One Friday [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BACKGROUND: The City of Independence has developed a &#8220;tool&#8221; for encouraging homeowners and landlords to fix up their property. This tool was successfully used to revitilize Harry Truman&#8217;s old neighborhood, which is just west of the &#8220;Square&#8221; in Independence. Two years ago, this tool was modified a bit and then &#8220;opened up for applicants&#8221; to [...]]]></description>
