   Wow, what cute houses. Has the feel of Wisteria Lane. Love the individuality of them all. You don’t see that often here in Texas.

   Great street! I love older homes & neighborhoods. The landscaping is established & everything isn't so cookie cutter.

    What a great neighborhood. Reminds me of a movie. FWIW, I don’t think your cinderblock home is ugly at all. I think it has it’s own unique character :0).

    What a great street to live on! I’ll bet you love driving down it everyday, happy to know you live there!

    Even if your house is the ugly duckling, I doubt it will be for long!

    Wow…what a fabulous street. I can see why you would want to buy in that area. Looks like a great area to take long walks in and gaze at all the beautifully decorated porches and houses.

    So – yea – I’ve been reading your blog for a while now and just realized you’re from Alabama. Actually it went more like this: ‘OMG! I can’t believe this beautiful woman, with the beautiful house, in the beautiful neighborhood is from ALABAMA!!!’ Don’t you just love these older neighborhoods?!? Obviously! I’m in North Alabama ~ let me know if you’re close!
