So fun fact, I happen to be in Ephrata, Washington. Right behind me is a coffee shop that just opened in one of my buildings. As cool amenities go, living above a coffee shop in a mixed-use building, it could be a lot worse. It's fun to get to be downtown and actually see an impact that you're making on the main street through the city. This was an old building, was a failed building that's behind me. We completely renovated it, reopened it, multifamily on the top, retail on the bottom, one more space to lease up. These are the projects that mean something to me personally, where you can add something to a community. That space before was a failed bail Bond's place. This is a lot better.
