Neighborhoods
We live
here now. Although if we were one block east, we'd technically be
here.
Good golly this block is quiet. There are actual kids, all kinds of dogs, and even squirrels. A fat crow spends his time stomping around on a rooftop nearby, and the cats keep drooling out the windows at the many small juicy birds. Our block is mostly Victorians, with a few small multi-unit buildings. There are gardens. The new place is wedged into a miniature lot and doesn't really have a yard, but the back stairs make a nice enough place to admire other people's handiwork.
I'm still figuring out this landlord thing. Although the tenant is perfect — neither chatty nor unfriendly. Just wants to pay her rent and be left to live the life she's had for the past nine years. Both flats are way small (although not as small as the mini-loft I almost went for) and the building is, erm, acoustically quirky. But I'm starting to relax a little.
