North Adams Real Estate There are a couple of big stories on the North Adams real estate front:

• Holiday Inn & Steeples

The Holiday Inn reportedly is quietly up for sale according to a couple people in the know. The untimely death of Sanford Plumb this past winter seemed to make to make some ownership changes likely. It seems that the process has begun.

Evidently the old space that Steeples restaurant used to fill is going to remain vacant so a new owner can decide what to do with it. Rumored talks between the Holiday Inn and some experienced local restaurateurs to put a new dining establishment in place this summer recently fell through.

I gotta tell ya' - as a restaurant professional, it is my firm belief that if the right person got their hands on the space at the Holiday Inn, they would make a killing. The prospects for in-house catering are HUGE, not to mention a great location for a restaurant and lounge. If my wife wouldn't divorce me, not to mention that I really love my current job, I would be all over this. (Although, if you're filthy rich and want to throw some serious capital my way, I'll always listen. Don't tell my wife!)

• A Name Synonymous with North Adams

Main Street may soon fill another space, though. A longtime North Adams company that currently owns a large underutilized building is supposedly looking at selling their current building and leasing street front office space on Main Street. It sounds like a logical move to me. I haven't been able to confirm this with any of the players, so for now, let the guessing games begin.  ¶ 4:56 PM
