Notes on a Neighborhood

The neighborhood that I live in is very eclectic. There are wealthy people who live across the street on the lake, college kids renting, octagenarians, activists, gardeners, busybodies, etc. We like that there is a great variety of souls on our short two block street. And we thought that we would be a different and welcome addition. And just like some pet owners and their pets begin to look alike, some homeowners begin to look like their neighborhood.

We were sort of laughing the other day at some of the neighbors and their choices in cars. Two doors down, the couple each have Saabs, across the street the husband and wife both have BMWs. We thought it a somewhat hilarious and off-putting commentary about coupledom when both of us remembered that we each have an Acura!
