When I found the house to feature in this week’s column, I knew who my imaginary guest writer was going to be: Elmo. Elmo would absolutely appreciate this house.

“Hi Elmo!”
“Hi Mimi! Elmo is happy to be here helping you write. Elmo’s a good writer. Elmo likes to laugh and giggle.”
“I know you are a good writer Elmo. I like to laugh and giggle when I write too. I think you will be interested in this week’s house. It is brought to you by the letters W, T, and F.”
“Oh boy, Elmo can hardly wait!”

This week’s home is located at 30 North 11th Street, Bangor, Pennsylvania. It has four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms and has a little more than 3,700 square feet. The home sits on three-quarters of an acre. The owners are asking $489K.

“Elmo thinks this house looks nice. Why are we writing about this house?”
“Be patient, Elmo. You will see soon enough.”

“Oh boy, Elmo loves red”


“Uh-oh.”
“Yes Elmo, uh-oh indeed.”
“Elmo thinks someone broke into the Elmo factory and stole all the material to put in this house. Elmo is getting kind of nervous.”

“Come on Elmo, hang in there buddy. We are only on photo 29. There are 135 pictures to see.”
“135! That is a lot of pictures. Elmo can’t count that high. Elmo dizzy.”

“Okay Elmo. How about we go to the kitchen?”
“Elmo would like to go to the kitchen. Do you think they would have a snack to help Elmo stop being dizzy?”
“There’s only one way to find out pal. Let’s go.”



“Elmo! Wake up, buddy. We’re not done writing the column.”
“Sorry. Elmo got nauseous and passed out.”
“It’s okay, Elmo. It is not every day you see the same pattern from the sofa wallpapered onto the kitchen walls.”
“And on to the ceiling and the shade and the curtains. Elmo tired.”

“Elmo now understands why Mimi said this week’s column is brought to you by the letters W, T, and F.”

“Elmo’s snack doesn’t need to be heated up in the microwave. Just the reflection of all the red is enough to heat up Elmo’s snack.”
“Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Good one, Elmo. You are a good writer.”
“Elmo not feeling good. Elmo needs to go to the bathroom.”


“Mimi, Elmo has had enough. Can we please stop?”
“Are you sure Elmo? We still have 50 more photos to see.”
