A listing with West Central Auction Company is offering “Multi Properties Bates County Missouri - Main Street Amsterdam and in Hume Mo in an online auction to be held August 28th at 12:30 pm that includes the north side of Main street in Amsterdam along with at least two lots in Hume, Mo.
It came on the heels of an announcement that the Amsterdam Cafe will be closing August 16th and now, the entire north side of the business district in Amsterdam along Main street as seen above will be on the auction block.
While puns regarding the popular TV sitcom Schitt’s Creek have garnished local coffee shop chatter, the seriousness of the sale has certainly caught the attention of residents and business owners alike, leaving everyone to wonder just what does the future hold for Amsterdam, population 220.
“I hope whoever buys it keeps the momentum going” was overheard with “My heart hurts” last week indicating that concerns are high among local residents.
Mid America live combed over the listing which indicates that bidding will be opening soon and the auction will be held entirely online; however no reserve price is stated but certainly one is expected be revealed.
Flipside, the new owner(s) likely will have a vested interest and continue to build on what is already a wonderful thing in western Bates county.
