Look around. There is much to see in this neighborhood.
At first you might think this is the normal middle-class neighborhood. There are houses of varying sizes and shapes. Nothing too lavish and large. No mega mansions with three stall garages out front. Many of the small houses call for a second glance. Some yards are large and manicured, and others are smaller, detailed yards and there are some that are obviously played on by children on trikes and swing sets.
But don’t let our normalness distract you. Look closely at those front porches. The chairs are filled with people chatting and laughing and sipping adult beverages. Then look down that deadend street to see the raised platform with a live band playing and people relaxing in lawn chairs or on the curbside. The children run and dance and lick ice cream cones.
What about the couple busily digging and planting and reconfiguring the corner flower bed? Or the group of neighbors harvesting the crop grown by volunteers in our Greenway plot?
See the new ‘garden room’ going up?
See the new paint job?
Don’t miss the small group that is meeting to discuss who will represent us at the Historic commission meeting and who will host the holiday party.
Soon there will be some stalwart souls armed with ladders and pickup trucks assembling to hang the greens.
One neighbor helps another. If you need an answer, don’t hesitate to ask the question. When a problem arises, a solution will be found.
So look around and know that you are welcome in the Moss-Bradley neighborhood.
