If lurkers are allowed to take a crack at naming the place, I'd like to suggest the following. The new home gives off a very science-fiction-esque, Fantastic Four feeling to it, so....

The Byrne-ster Building

All right, so maybe that's pushing it....

Life is all about moving on, after all. When it isn't, we call it "death".

JB, from the stories that I've heard and what I've witnessed here on the forum it seems that you're a pretty nice, amiable fellow.  You probably haven't had to do this since your last move, but are you the type of neighbor who will go and introduce yourself to your neighbors or will you see if they come to you?

Couple of months in The New Place and I will probably have a Housewarming party. When I do, I will invite the rest of the block. There are, by my quick count, about ten other houses on the street.

I spoke to my next door neighbor once.  Her son chopped down a tree which put a nice dent in my roof.  Not so much talking since then.

ATTENTION MATT REED:
I have a great idea for a new reality show.  Get a network to buy a house in JB's new neighborhood.  Put a bunch of us in the house.
--Dennis the Menace-style shenanigans ensue
or
--American Idol-style-- everyone gets voted off, the winner gets to be JBs Kato Kaelin

Those of you who can read floorplans -- and I am constantly surprised by the number of folk I meet who can't! -- might be interested by this layout of TNP's first floor I doodled up to try to get a rough idea of where (and how much) of the furniture from SBM is going to fit.

How many vehicles do you own, JB? 

Also, I'm assuming the livingroom overlooks the pool?

All right, I'll bite.

Is that a bidet in the Master Bedroom Bath?

When I permit myself to get analytical about it, I often wonder why BATman doesn't fly, while SuperMAN does.

I know that in the latter case, the decision to have him fly came from the Fleischer studios, who liked the look better than having him leaping around like -- as Jim Steranko described it in his "History of Comics" -- an "anthropomophic kangaroo", but as a kid I used to love the occasional stories where aliens or beings from the future would stitch wings on Batman's back and he would soar like his namesake.

Proof of positive thread drift!

Not many people realize that this house was the Chief's second choice. He had originally wanted to move to this abandoned-looking civil-war era prison...

...which as it turns out, has highly sensitive sensors
when you get closer. Not as abandoned as he thought.
As to who the new owners are we can only guess.
