Vladimir Putin owns several area properties

Well, yes and no. It's not that Vladimir Putin.

But it's amazing the kind of funny things you can find when you're just poking around on your computer.

Some guy by the name of Vladimir Putin owns several properties in the East Westwood and Price Hill areas, most of them not spectacular. In fact, most are dumps.

Internet searches for this particular Vladimir Putin were unsuccessful. I'll leave it for you to figure out why.

I'm also fairly sure that the Russian president doesn't have a wife named Lily and he doesn't live on Suire Avenue in Price Hill.

A quick search showed that nobody named George Bush owns any property in Hamilton County.


Putin's most recent prize-winning acquisition: 2159 Baltimore Avenue, purchased for $3,500.
