After being unable to negotiate an agreeable settlement with the owner of a popular restaurant in one of the buildings, she sought out local commercial agents to fill the space. Because of the current economic climate there were no takers of the 6500 sqft that accounted for over $10,000 per month in revenues to her step father.
