Apparently, the complaint alleges that The Langford LLC is refusing to provide access to project-related records. In addition, there is a complaint [...]

Ok, this is quite possibly the most bizzare, random, age inappropriate, fawning over the condo lifestyle that has ever come to pass… I love it. It was posted by our friends at CondoDomain.com (Congrats on your new Web 2.0 guys). Anyway, I’m still not sure I get it… I mean, didn’t even know what a “condo” [...]
