Peter Beal is a craftsman like an old fashioned honest hardworking artisan who fell behind in taxes and lost his home and place of business and is paying a very high price.

All in all, the stories we hear are sad but this is one person who lost his home as well as his favorite tool to do his work. Please let me tell you about Peter and his home at 1960 Maple. Bet we all know what this means:

Don't flip 1960 S. Maple because it is being promoted as a piece of property which will have potential to be rezoned. Its not going to happen folks! The artisian needs his workshop back. Yea, I know he has to help himself. I think he will get it back. Might take a while but I believe in him. He has patience!

This is how the place looked prior to his working on it:

This is the beautiful work he does:

Let's hope he has a happy ending to this sad story. If you want to hear more here is a video about it:

I should post my own piece of furniture he made into a piece of art. It is truly beautiful!

Peter if you see this: I believe you will be located at 1960 S. Maple again!

Karen, I've seen the sign and wondered what it what up and what the sign meant. Thanks

I'm not really a pirate

I'm not trying to be nit-picky, but someone needs to help Peter with that website. I clicked and read for about five minutes and while I get the drift, is there some action we locals can take to help him? Does he want letters of support, money or is he just trying to educate us that tax deed purchasers can be scumdawgs?

It's made unclear with statements like this:

For now, the legal remedies have been exhausted....

Sounds like this might just be some angst coming out, but maybe not ideal for home page material as the reader might go, "ok, then let's move on"

He does have near the bottom: What is the goal of this website? But then he goes from what would seem to be the critical mission of regaining control of the property to changing Michigan tax law.

But to not attempt correcting the present situation would be civic indifference of the worst kind.

If he's no longer the owner, isn't his only option to become a buyer?
