We can get right to Buena Vista and Morse and go north or south.

The grocery is where I go most often and I love being close. Some folks I know have never turned on their oven and restaurants are hugely important.

I think that you cannot go wrong ANYWHERE. My favorite village second to the one we now live in is Hadley. We owned a home there and I loved it. We lived right against Odell rec center and could go right out the back door and walk to the swimming pool.

I love Sanibel too. It is all filled in now and the folks are getting things all finished looking and I have not met anyone from there who wasn't so enjoyable.

Of course I love Caroline and Sabel Chase, and I love where you live PTurner and Bonita and Hemingway is nice...and anything off of Canal.

Well my dears, it is so hard to go wrong.

Do NOT live next to a grouch. It ruins everything. But I don't know where he lives. Or she.
But I get what l2ride is saying, Gracie, when it comes to some streets. You have a buffer where you are--466 is not directly in your backyard. There is a cart path and a lot of landscaping between 466 and your neighborhood. I don't think there are any houses whose backyards sit directly on 466 in your neighborhood. I may be mistaken? Some houses back right up to a busy street--Bailey Trail and St. Charles come to mind--and the privacy is nil.

As for the grouch... he isn't anywhere near us either. The grouch police kept him away.
