office area -- their "front door".

Neither am I. The place is neat and orderly, but it's old and worn.

This guy cleans his bathrooms, but they have stained ceilings and
crumbling plaster from a leaky roof, and leaky pipes. He vacuums the
carpeting, but it's also stained from building-related problems.

He's 5 years into a process where it looks like the city is going to
finally build him a new building, but it's a deathly slow political process.

He's the only FBO on the field, and there aren't other choices for
buildings.

On the other hand, his fuel prices are good to excellent, and he's got
very nice, knowledgeable, employees with a caring attitude.

Pray he never gets the new building! I would expect all that to change.
