| | Parrot, we've carefully preserved the 'patina' of the 'ol Dirty Bird. (In other words, we scrubbed the heck out of it, but don't come lookin for new!)
We want our buyers to be comfortable.
Can of pop = $1.50 Piece of cake = $4.00 Gray Wienie = $3.00 Place to sit = priceless!
Now, we've all driven long hours to an auction and parked 10 miles away. Out of the car, there's a long trek up a hill and people standing 10 deep in front of wagons heaped with boxes. Odds are good there'll be blistering heat, blustery cold or rain.
Hungry? $3 gray wienies floating in a crockpot, bob for a $2 can of pop, then pull up a damp piece of grass.
Necessities? Scott's got the pot, and hope you remembered to EAT FIRST.
Now at the Green Parrot...
Our preferred location.
We got it all! Well, all we cared to afford.
OK, the point is that the Dirty Bird wasn't looking for a buyer. We didn't find a building, and make our needs fit it. We evaluated our needs, homed in on the Green Parrot facility then smiled real big when we got the keys. We took a few months trying to get everyone comfortable...new ceiling, new toilet seats (!), new lighting (from about 8 fixtures to 30+), new floor finish and new seating arrangement. There's probably not an owner, employee, neighbor or (hopefully) customer of the establishment that's not proud.
