Victoria's secret is out. B.R.A, Borodino Restoration Associates latest attempt to ascertain the purchase price of said property has failed. My inability to adequately communicate the mission of B.R.A has led me to conclude that the corner property of 41 and 174 will remain the same --- forever. The high cost of doing business makes any attempt to reconstruct a nice, new facility impossible. The lack of personal interest and the lack of economic activity with said properties suggests that little, if anything, will  improve over the next 5 years. So the war of Borodino continues till someone files for bankruptcy protection (or until Tchaikovsky comes back to rewrite the "1812 Overture", and renames it the "2001 Overture"). What a waste of resources. Resources neither side can afford to waste. I guess now I will sit back and watch the legal fight accelerate.

Meanwhile, thanks to all the interested investors who called and expressed interest in bringing Borodino out of third-world status.

Your Musical Selection: Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture"

B.R.A IS LOOKING FOR SUPPORT
If 25 intelligent - capable people would invest $1000 each for the purchase of the corner properties, and together these people borrowed $125,000 maybe we could ALL have something to be proud of in Borodino.

Borodino Restoration Associates, or B.R.A is offering the first $1000 towards the purchase and demolition of 1852 and 1854 East Lake Road. BRA is looking for 25 community-minded Borodinians to join forces to help rebuild the town of Borodino. If interested call Joe (315)673-9565.Click here to see a drawing of  Joe's vision.
