Sale of just one condo creates a buzz
According to R.E. Graswich, there’s been a buzz that may dampen one of my beefs with our fair governor: he may actually move into a local residence, albeit one where he can still keep an eye on his office.
Top of town: There’s been chatter in city circles, including those in position to know, that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and first lady Maria Shriver have been touring the new 15-floor hotel and condo tower under construction at 15th and L streets. Yes, there has been talk about the Austrian Oak buying the penthouse and moving in for the next four years. No, a deal has not been signed. Asked for a response, the governor’s spokesman, Darrell Ng, said: “He does not own and has not bought property there. Other than that, we have no comment.” The hotel is a Marriott Residence Inn with a Randy Paragary bar and kitchen. It opens in a few months. …
This got me thinking–does he like living at the Hyatt so he can intimidate with the Capitol Dome in the background? If that’s a criterion, this may be more than just rumor. Seriously, Arnold, I think most people don’t forget you’re governor. Enough with the dramatic staging–life’s not a press conference.
Is he that chubby short guy? Think I’ve heard of him.
Wow, another Paragary establishment. You know, my argument that Sac is full of great, independently owned restaurants is getting weaker by the day. I wonder if he’s like the Don of restaurant mafia here in Sacto – he has first dibs on all new construction projects, good storefronts, etc.
I also can’t help but let out an immature giggle over the thought of a randy Paragary bar as opposed to a Randy Paragary bar.
I heard that Arnold stopped appearing at Paragary restaurants, after Paragary hosted a fundraiser for some Democratic rivals of the governator’s.
It’s okay, he’ll probably go out the back door.
