Lisa, Great job on your 'neighborhood of the week!' I think you do a fabulous job highlighting and this is a great Localism presentation!
Carole, you'll have to come visit one day and see them all in person :)
Debe, thank you so much!
Brian, it won't be long before I'll be able to take a whole new group of photos as the crepe myrtles begin to blossom. I saw my first azaleas blooming this weekend - spring is in the air here!
John, I had about 6 visitors come through, including a couple of neighbors. At least one couple seems to be pretty interested!
Sally, thanks! It's a great location and we don't have that many places with new construction, so it's a very stable area with little turnover.
Kim, thanks! I'd love to see more about your neighborhoods too.
