Monday

We’re on a main road here, about 3 houses from an intersection with 2 convenience stores and a gas station. The other corner has a small used car lot. It’s always a worry over if commercial interests will creep closer. Zoning regulations seem non existent. So I know the feeling. So far we have been lucky.

The house next door was vacant for several years after the elderly owners died, and it was really starting to to go to pot and become an eyesore. Thankfully a young single guy ended up buying it and has done a few things to fix it up, but it needs a lot more.
