Smells Like a Neighborhood Should

September 28, 2008 urngarden.com

My neighborhood is alive. I’m typing this in the golden hour, with meat on the grill, dogs at my feet, and the sun going down.

A splendid weekend in the garden, with spiders in my hair.

Top 10 Things I Love About this Neighborhood:

  • Skateboarders

  • Sporting Events in the Hood
  • Mature grounds

  • Dog Walkers/Joggers/Jazzy Chairs

  • Diverse Neighbors: High Class Hillbilly, Asian, Latino, Black, and various other mixed breeds representing all ages.

  • Hillbilly Home Gym and Private dog park
  • Siren Activity
  • Hearing the high school band practice in the am
  • Smells fantastic.

The Trade-off:

  1. McDonald’s Trash
  2. High speed teenage drivers
3. Fungus (mildew that invades the plants around here...)
3. Fungus (mildew that invades the plants around here...)

    Looks like you nailed them all!

    There’ just something about this neighborhood that is wonderful. That’s why we choose to live here!

    Thanks for reminding me of the reasons we love this area….although sometimes the PA system from JFK stadium is so loud I have to turn up the TV on the back porch to hear the race.

    Believe it or not, we can her the PA system and the crowds and the band! We love it too, and the neighbors just make the whole hood.

    Thanks for showing love to skateboarders. It’s Not too often you see that outside of the sport.
