It was a glorious morning in the valley as Midas Mulligan Jr. cut the ribbon of his new project. At the same time his archrival Ellsworth Hootey was preparing to do just the same.
Two huge properties occupying two lots each have been inaugurated today just a block from each other:
Mulligan's "Hotel Bauen" rises 109 meters above the ground and offers 4 (other sources will say 5) star accomodation along its 33 floors.
