Foreclosures in Spotsylvania County

_2MM8181.JPG

I spent part of yesterday following a Spotsylvania County sheriff’s deputy as he cleared houses that had been foreclosed upon and the new owner, usually a bank, was taking possession. Of the three places we visited, the bank representative never showed and the other two were empty. He said that often times the tenants are long gone. I’m no Anthony Suau – he produced a great essay on the financial crisis – but I think it is a good first step on one of my portions of the paper’s Stimulus package called Bringing it Home.  I plan on going back out next week but in the meantime need to shoot this season’s All-Area sportraits first!
