I doubt you're T. Rex because you haven't worked in a reference to Batman with your goat cheese.

Congrats, smonster!
God help me, I put my itouch away somewhere "safe" the other morning. Of course, I have NO IDEA where that was.
eta: Found it. Why one morning I thought the pocket of my lightweight coat hanging in the closet was a safe place is beyond me. Well, it was morning. My morning logic is a squirrelly thing.

You know I'm all "likes carrots" about my hood. My summertime neighbor (who leaves for Nashville next week, woe!) told me specifically that she was doing a post about the neighborhood and I should check it out. She's completely besotted with it. Because she's been home with a non-napping now-5 month old this summer, she's taken a lot of walks with him. She's met the old-timers, daytime gardners, fellow SAH parents and carers, all the dog walking people, and she's in love with them all. I'm proud of my neighborhood for giving her such a warm welcome, and pinching myself again that no, it's not just me. It really is an incredible little hood.

That's so great -- there's really nothing worse than being in an unfamiliar place with a pre-talking, non-sleeping infant. And taking walks is one of the (free) easy things you can do every day to prevent losing your mind. Having friendly neighbors is such a bonus.

Yeah, this neighborhood is good for walking, especially with a baby. Tree lined, one way streets on a grid, pretty, pretty rowhouses with some really good gardeners. She told me she takes the camera with her as much as possible, because the hood is such a good subject. Venture out a mile or so, and there is a small lake (part of the water system) with a paved path around it, lanes for bikers and walkers, with fantastic view of the city and the neighborhoods around it: [link] eta: go look at streetview on the path around it. Lovely.
