Where everybody knows your name

Someone is investing money in the former Corner Tavern in Venango, upgrading the exterior of the building with vinyl siding and other improvements. The tavern was (or is?) for sale—the price started out in the mid $100,000s if I recall correctly, but dropped down to $69,000. The listing is currently inactive, according to this listing detail page from Coldwell Banker.

I'm not sure if someone purchased the property, which was apparently lost as part of a bankruptcy. Of course, Crawford County government is stuck in the stone ages and doesn't have property records and transfer information available online.

At any rate, whether it's a bank that foreclosed on the property or a new owner doing the work, it's good to see some progress on a building that had the potential to become an eyesore pretty quickly.
