This Week’s Nishi2 Real Estate
Here’s the real estate-related article covered on Nishi2 this week. (Though it’s just one article.)
This property is renovated and close to Shukugawa Station, so there’s a very high chance it will be taken quickly. If you’re thinking about moving, be sure to go see it this weekend.
Something That Changed at Nishi2 This Week
There was one thing this week.
New Nishi2 Member “Kurayan” Has Joined!
We’ve added yet another new member to the Nishi2 team! Since we’re adding someone every two weeks, we’ll have about eight more people by the end of the year. (Huge lie.)
She’s the mother of an elementary school girl, so I think we’ll be seeing more articles from a mom’s perspective going forward!
Here’s a roundup of the articles Kurayan wrote this week.
She’ll appear tomorrow at lunchtime with a food article about that much-talked-about shop in Mondoyakujin, so stay tuned!(Which “that” are we talking about??)
Info That Almost Became an Article
Believe it or not, there were no photo submissions this week that almost became articles!
However, we did make a painful mistake: even though we turned a tip into an article, we forgot to include the contributor’s nickname.
Peach, who sent us the tip about the closing of Taiwan Tofu Pudding in Koshienguchi, we’re very sorry. We’ve added your name just now!!
Also, as with last week, we did receive one photo tip that has not yet been turned into an article, so we’ll make it into an article next week <m(__)m>
Thank you again for all your tips this week ヽ(^o^)丿
If you have any Nishinomiya information, please send it to us via LINE or the tip submission form!
