Harvey Pace, 76, cuts grass on one of his two properties on Stockard Ave. in Hadley Township on Thursday, June 21, 2012. Pace grew up in the Richmond Heights neigborhood but has since moved away.  A new developer, the third in five years, wants to buy out the enitre block and more in the Richmond Heights neighborhood. Pace, like many homeowners, is skeptical. But he is ready to sell. I would have sold the first time, but the city thought they were paying us too much money and they killed it, Pace said of a previous offer.
