  "Ah yes, the eternal reach for the skies. Gotham’s inexorable spread as it becomes a centre for some of the brightest and the best in the commercial and corporate sector. I shall not enquire further but wish you every success in your endeavours," he grinned. "Except of course to inquire if you have any hand in the Industrial districts? We have begun to renovate several of the old town factories and warehouses for our own enterprises."
   
  It wasn’t a question Bradley was expecting.  He cocked his head slightly and thought for a brief moment, mentally sorting through lists of potential projects and real estate that the company owned.  “I have property scattered throughout Gotham,” he said, making a quick glance to take note of which dowagers and debutants paid more attention now that this admission was made, and making a further mental note not to become too involved with any of them.  “But I’m afraid that they’re all tied up at the moment.”
   
  Bradley wondered how much Fresserei knew about the plans to convert one of the defunct factories into Restaurant Row, one Mr. Buford’s idea to revitalize the local tourist industry.  He hoped to encourage some of Gotham’s more talented chefs to open their own businesses by offering them low-interest loans, but those plans might be quashed before they began if Melcom decided to purchase property only to see it remain perpetually condemned, or worse, re-open them along with their attendant noise and pollution.
   
  Bradley flashed another grin at Mr. Fresserei, not letting his concerns echo on his face.  If Melcom’s entertainment arm was asking, chances are they were trying to shoehorn some of their own chain restaurants into the act.  Or it might be something completely unrelated, but somehow Bradley doubted it.  He could spend a few weeks going through his usual contacts to see what Melcom’s intentions were, or he could try and massage the information out of Fresserei tonight.
   
  He decided to try and feel out the waters tonight, and follow up in the morning.  “Is Melcom interested in building another hotel, or do you have something else in mind?”
