I live in a relatively small and boring town. It's got it's pros, but mostly, I can't wait to get out of here. It used to be all orange groves, there are still quite a few around, but not enough to make the whole town smell like oranges or anything - unfortunately. The places you have to see here aren't much different than places you could find anywhere else. So don't get your hopes up K? Two things I really do like about this area: 1 - there are TONS of really cool old houses. TONS. And I love them. 2 - The Bowl. Every Tuesday night during the summer they put on a free concert in the park/bowl. They are usually symphonies and ballets and operas. It's so much fun and you can bring wine!
{{{The University - We live right behind here. We usually walk on campus after The Beard gets home from work in the evenings.}}}

Alright, I think that's all the highlights! What do you think? Pretty ok? Super boring?

ReplyDeleteNot bad Lookerse. Not bad at all. By the by, I love that cemetary shot.
ReplyDeleteI love those pretty houses- they look like dollhouses :)
ReplyDeleteall those places look awesome! We don't have anything so pretty (or old) here in squarebanks. Well, a house or building might be old here..which generally means it's very small and ugly (haha)
ReplyDeletewow, you live in a very charming area! love it.
