I love it here too, and I needed to hear this after hearing several folks are moving from here "because of the schools". I am a proud resident and proud of the diversity here. Yay us!MumPastorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027947521261794194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907440527168314545.post-2734090230169362532012-03-17T07:52:21.766-04:002012-03-17T07:52:21.766-04:00Pretty close, except a lot of the houses, includin...Pretty close, except a lot of the houses, including ours, are brick. <br /><br />Lisa, I grew up on 12 acres in the country and it's beautiful.

I imagine two storey white weatherboard houses without front fences with double hung windows with 6 panes of glass in each half.rob culhanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907440527168314545.post-20520182605179562642012-03-17T02:38:47.528-04:002012-03-17T02:38:47.528-04:00Your neighborhood sounds wonderful, but I'm a ...Your neighborhood sounds wonderful, but I'm a product of the suburbs. I remember my Mom's relatives would come out from the city to visit, and they were appalled that we had well water and a septic tank. They honestly thought we lived as close as you could be to a farm without actually owning livestock. We grew up in a home on a half-acre lot...I always feel claustrophobic in the city.Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907440527168314545.post-80628906630332454632012-03-16T21:17:39.609-04:002012-03-16T21:17:39.609-04:00I have to admit,we looked at some outer ring devel...I have to admit,we looked at some outer ring developments last time around. Those shiny new houses with big bathrooms have their appeal, that's for sure. I sometimes wonder how differently we might have lived out there. I'm sure it would have been fine, but this is close to perfect -- in its own way, of course.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898073277524952683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907440527168314545.post-57965359355507724732012-03-16T21:05:24.607-04:002012-03-16T21:05:24.607-04:00Robin, I enjoyed this post as my daughter and her ...Robin, I enjoyed this post as my daughter and her family have chosen to live in the older area of her city. She wants her children to grow up with diversity of all types. Their neighbours include older people with no children rather than just young professionals with children as seems to be the case with the suburbs. They can walk downtown, to the farmers' market, to many parks and all sorts of other amenities. They love where they live - except perhaps some of the challenges of an older home!!Lyndahttp://www.metanoia-mrc.blogspot.ca/2012/03/my-place.html#comment-formnoreply@blogger.com
