The beautiful and luxurious Dahmer estate can be yours!

In 1978, Jeffrey Dahmer committed his first murder.  The murder site was the serial killer’s childhood home in the town of Bath, just outside of Akron in Northern Ohio.  Dahmer moved from Ohio to Wisconsin in 1982, then he went on to kill at least 16 more people before his arrest in 1991.  Dahmer’s reign of terror ended due to his death in prison in 1994, but that doesn’t mean you can’t own a piece of his history.  Jeffrey Dahmer’s childhood home is on the market, and you could be the next owner!  Assuming you’re willing to move to Northern Ohio and have a spare $329,000, of course.

The home is currently owned by musician Chris Butler, of the 1980’s band The Waitresses.   He bought the home as a remote place for his band to practice, as well as a home for his assorted British Invasion musical equipment and his midcentury modern furniture.  The house itself was a local landmark long before Dahmer started killing and became a media sensation; a year after the house was built it was featured in the Akron paper as a paragon of modern design.  It still stays true to its 50’s roots, and sits on a large, private wooded lot.

“You’ve gotta kind of get past the horror factor,” admitted Butler, who bought the house in 2005 when he was spending more time in Ohio with a band.  “I didn’t stop shaking for another 24 hours,” he said of his reaction when the realator exposed the house’s history.  “I love, love, love the place, but I just don’t get back there that often.”

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
