100% drop in bling coming

One of my town's most famous residents is, sadly, leaving the neighborhood. I've never seen him, but I've heard reports that 50 Cent frequents the upscale grocery store across the street from my place.

The mansion used to be owned by Mike Tyson, and it seems that Mr. Cent has done quite a bit of work on the residence after buying it in 2003 for $4.1 million.

If you're interested, the house has 18 bedrooms, 37 bathrooms, a full gym, two billiard rooms, racquetball courts and a disco.

According to one real estate agent, 50 Cent has "put a lot into it, and it's all very tasteful, except the stripper poles."

But in fairness to the rapper, I doubt the agent knows there are stripper poles, and then there are stripper poles.
