“Engineers aren’t cheap and we’re looking at it holistically as a town-wide thing, but it will absolutely help this property because it is in floodwaters,”
Does this mean it has holes or is holy vs looking at the whole thing? TIC

“Impactful”.
On a more serious note: Most municipalities have a blight ordinance that can be enforced to compel property owners to fix/renovate the building. The property tax on the building in its current condition is probably lower than it would be otherwise, so the town is effectively losing money. Its a real life Catch-22 situation, lol!

We spell holistic with an H because it derives directly from the Greek word hólos, meaning "whole" or "all". In contrast, the English word whole comes from an entirely different, old Germanic root, making the "W" in wholistic an invented addition.Here is the quick breakdown of how these two words evolved separately:
Holistic: Coined in the 1920s by South African philosopher Jan Smuts, who wanted to name his philosophical theory (the drive in nature to create "wholes"). He pulled the Greek prefix holos directly, so the word has never had a "W".
Whole: Traces back to Old English and Germanic roots (like hāl) meaning "healthy" or "uninjured". The "WH" spelling is actually an artificial addition from the 1500s—added by scribes to distinguish it from the word "hole".Because holistic and whole have such similar meanings, "wholistic" became a widely used variant (known as a folk etymology) to better reflect the underlying meaning for English readers. However, in standard academics and medicine, holistic remains the correct and preferred spelling.

they had a little display of graves marked with each team on the football schedule. If Tech won a game, that grave would be filled in with sand.

"In 2019, a historic preservation certification application was submitted to the National Park Service by Fengs Group Real Estate, detailing an estimated rehabilitation cost of $1.5 million. "

Interiors you can do what you want with, but exteriors must meet Blacksburg historical standards. At least that's what it is with homes subject to the historical districts in Blacksburg.
If that $1.5MM is just for exterior, I can only think what the total rehab would be.

It was built in the late 1960s or 1970. That building in the picture was probably Dave’s hotdogs when you were in school. Would be my guess. Studio one became two theaters after a while.
