No Castle for you!

Beverly Fortune of Kentucky.com has some news about the new living quarters for the Calipari family. Since the castle on Versailles Rd. was not for sale, the Calipari's had to settle for this $2.295 million gem and adjacent vacant lot on Richmond Rd. This so-called mega-mansion only has approximately 10,000 square feet on the main part and another 1,000 square feet above the garage. Wisely, Coach Cal has already made plans to fence in some of the property.

Neighbors are already excited:
Neighbor Joe Jones, a retired UK Spanish professor who lives three doors away, said, "we're always delighted to have new neighbors.

"We have a very active neighborhood association. We'll be happy to have the coach added to a group of neighbors on Richmond Road," he said.

Jones added that "it will be an interesting experience to have a celebrity on the block."

To which Coach Cal said, "C'mon Joe, you've gotta be kiddin' me!"

Anyone giving me odds that the next neighborhood watch meeting sets an attendance record?

  2. No kidding, if you're familiar with Lexngton, you know that house. With no fence, you gotta think he'll get crazy 24/7 security.
