If there were ever any doubt of just how cooky our street is, Art Holliday of KSDK put an end to that question.
Which is exactly why I love where we live.
Plus the proximity to the park and the phenomenal schools.
But the people who share this block with us are pretty great too.
I love our block because
not everyone is the same
we have lots of different family configurations
single parents
grandparents
two parent families
one neighbor is an immigrant mother who owns a restaurant and rides the bus to get there every day
we have a wide range of ages on our street
there are empty nesters
plus houses with lots of kids
and young people too
there are renters
and owners
there are engineers, writers, retired teachers, nuns, office workers, artists
we have tidy yards
and overgrown spaces
one neighbor smokes a cigar and reads his paper in his car every single morning
it's an eclectic place where we all fit.
