This is our house.
Our door is the one on the left. We have the top floor (including that balcony).
We are three houses away from the corner of this street. That means we are a 1-5 minute walk away from a little grocery store, a health food store, a pizza place, a health center, a hardware store, a fish market, an ice cream/movie shop, a thrift store, a printer, a pet store, a pet supply store, a half dozen restaurants, a barber shop, a beauty salon, several antique and art shops, and too many other places to mention. Every Saturday from May through September a farmers market also lines this street.
Esther and William's favorite is the school playground just around the corner.
We also are just two blocks away from the library, and a short drive from two parks - both with free swimming pools, one with a really cool castle playground, and the other with a free theater.
We love it here, and the people are super friendly (unless they're driving). The printer gave Esther a notepad for free. The guy at the grocery store got some mint from his dad's backyard garden because the store doesn't keep it in stock. The fish-dealer had a conversation with Cameron about the best ways to cook fish, and when Cameron got home he found the extra ingredients in his bag. When we were unloading some beds we bought for the kids, someone giving our neighbor a ride got out of his car and helped do the heavy lifting. Things like this happen every day. What a nice place to live.
