could never be without a front porch! grew up with one, have always had a screened front porch here at the jersey shore, the maine house has an expansive open front deck and our villages has a front facing screen/window enclosed lanai and an open 'porch' area, too! seem to do the same things at each of the homes, dining, reading, playing games and chatting. it's a great way to bring the inside outside!
