From the email announcement I sent to AirVuz a few minutes ago (September 18, 2019):
<blockquote>
Hello AirVuz,
The big news is that I have purchased property in Ely, Minnesota, and I am in the process of moving up there right now.
The property is a residential/commercial space on the main street in the heart of downtown Ely.  It's been an art gallery and framing service (the Kess Gallery) for thirty years.  The artist couple that own it are retiring.  The building needs a lot of work, but the price is low so I can afford to fix it up.
Most of the property is taken up by the gallery / retail space, with very cramped living quarters at the back, but that's okay for now. Next year I will rehab the entire residential area, tear down the old garage and back porch, and build out more living space in back including maybe a separate small residential unit for AirBnB. 
Closing is scheduled for September 30, but the owners handed me the keys right after I signed the purchase agreement and said go ahead and move in.  (They have a house nearby.) 
So, I will be busy moving for the next couple of weeks, but then I will settle down and get back to work.
Drive time from Ely to the AirVuz World Headquarters is about four and a half hours, and I want to get into the metro about weekly, so I will attend at least some staff meetings, maybe all of them.
You are all invited (once I get settled in) to visit me in Ely:
130 East Sheridan Street
Ely, MN

I will rename the place the Karl Jones Gallery and continue to show and sell art, mainly by my Twin Cities friends and myself, also by local artists.  I don't expect the gallery to make much money, that's not how galleries usually work. But I'm sure it will be great fun.
The former owner, who has an established clientele base for framing services, is setting me up with all of his stock and training me how to do framing, which will be a nice little sideline business.
That's about it for now.  I will keep you posted as things progress.
Your Man in Ely,
Karl Jones

"The Big News" email to AirVuz

From the email announcement I sent to AirVuz a few minutes ago (September 18, 2019):

Hello AirVuz,

The big news is that I have purchased property in Ely, Minnesota, and I am in the process of moving up there right now.

The property is a residential/commercial space on the main street in the heart of downtown Ely. It's been an art gallery and framing service (the Kess Gallery) for thirty years. The artist couple that own it are retiring. The building needs a lot of work, but the price is low so I can afford to fix it up.

Most of the property is taken up by the gallery / retail space, with very cramped living quarters at the back, but that's okay for now. Next year I will rehab the entire residential area, tear down the old garage and back porch, and build out more living space in back including maybe a separate small residential unit for AirBnB.

Closing is scheduled for September 30, but the owners handed me the keys right after I signed the purchase agreement and said go ahead and move in. (They have a house nearby.)

So, I will be busy moving for the next couple of weeks, but then I will settle down and get back to work.

Drive time from Ely to the AirVuz World Headquarters is about four and a half hours, and I want to get into the metro about weekly, so I will attend at least some staff meetings, maybe all of them.

You are all invited (once I get settled in) to visit me in Ely:

130 East Sheridan Street Ely, MN 55731

I will rename the place the Karl Jones Gallery and continue to show and sell art, mainly by my Twin Cities friends and myself, also by local artists. I don't expect the gallery to make much money, that's not how galleries usually work. But I'm sure it will be great fun.

The former owner, who has an established clientele base for framing services, is setting me up with all of his stock and training me how to do framing, which will be a nice little sideline business.

That's about it for now. I will keep you posted as things progress.

The lunatic I said you'd call The lunatic I said you'd call Remembering rings and Doctor Robert's laugh Got to be there any time at all

The lunatic will pick you up The lunatic will pick you up The paper hold he's folded everything he can Got to keep the loony's special cup

And if the dam breaks open for the National Health You shout and no one can succeed And if you must believe in everyone in need I'll see you pay the dark side of yourself

The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs Got to keep the loonies on the path The lunatic is in the hall The lunatics are in my hall The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day, the paperboy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon


Ring, my friend I said you'd call Doctor Robert Day or night he'll be there any time at all Doctor Robert Doctor Robert You're a new and better man He helps you to understand He does everything he can Doctor Robert If you're down he'll pick you up Doctor Robert Take a drink from his special cup Doctor Robert Doctor Robert He's a man you must believe Helping anyone in need No one can succeed like Doctor Robert Well, well, well, you're feeling fine Well, well, well, he'll make you Doctor Robert My friend works for the National Health Doctor Robert Don't pay money just to see yourself Doctor Robert Doctor Robert
