The popular NBC docudrama Unsolved Mysteries ran from 1988 to 1997. It was narrated by a man named Robert Stack, who I will always remember as airline captain Rex Kramer in the comedy film Airplane.
Robert Stack was cool. His voice was monotone but dramatic – sort of like that guy with the slicked back hair from the GEICO insurance commercials. Sometimes a little melodramatic if you ask me but that’s what TV networks and audiences love. Robert Stack made Unsolved Mysteries famous. But I couldn’t stand the show. Why?
I believe every story should have a beginning, middle and an end. The problem with Unsolved Mysteries was it only had a beginning and middle. No ending. I hated not knowing the outcome.
That’s why it was so tough for me to write Another Day at the Auction, 3 Houses, 3 Tales for BiggerPockets back in February. As badly as I wanted to share these stories with you I struggled to write the post because I didn’t know how things would turn out.
In case you didn’t read the original post my firm bought 3 properties at auction on January 5th. All of them were occupied and each posed a different set of challenges for us, which I called the good, the bad and the ugly. Well, all three have been sold now. So to quote Paul Harvey, here is the rest of the story:
The Good, 753 W. San Angelo
I am grateful for the opportunity that I have to contribute to this blog, as well as to run for Gilbert Town Council. This town council race has been an amazing experience. I have had the privilege to meet so many great residents of Gilbert who have taught me so much, and have so many great ideas for how to improve our town. I am excited to continue to work with each of them in the future.
