People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

The single- and two-family homes at 527-545 West 217th Street are a series of nine two-story brick Tudor Revival houses. Designed in 1933 by Benjamin F.V. Dreisler for owner Mary Kessler, these homes capitalized on their location in Inwood’s Park Terrace area. The homes are set back from the lot lines, creating front and rear yards with a rear garage. Stylistically, the buildings create an enclave with a suburban ambiance not found elsewhere in Manhattan.

Heh. I've been on that road. Hubby lived in Purvis while attending Southern Miss.
In fact around that area we once saw a charred carcass of some animal. We never got close enough to find out what exactly it was, besides disturbing.

The old woman on the chair in the garage is the former owner of the house, which is currently my house and she has been dead for about a year and a half.
I'm sorry. Is my bias showing?

With Google Streetview providing clearer photos of Denver area streetscapes, I thought I'd take a virtual trip back to my old Northwest Denver neighborhood, to see how things have evolved in the past three years.
Conclusion? More boutiques. More lime green. More mommies.

This lot was a long time target of illegal construction dumping before I inherited it. We excavated 9-13 feet of crap in order to find good soil for the foundation.

Another fabulous acquisition thanks to my ED. Bargain price of $2K. It's coming along nicely.
http://goo.gl/maps/6HJbJ
This beauty is all mine too. I tore it down over the ED's objections.
And because it's pretty...this one I am nearly finished with.
