We moved to this new town about two years ago. It’s a large town – nearly 30,000 people here and a large geographic boundaries. When school gets out and the roads are packed with parents and kids, traffic jams up. It can take 30 minutes to get from one part of town to the other. There are seven elementary schools and two middle schools. Jonah will have 500 classmates when he starts high school in the fall.
There are large sections of the town that I haven’t explored yet. It was always a town for upper middle class suburbanites, so there are some very impressive turn of the century homes in certain pockets of the town. My home is in a neighborhood that was populated later in the 1950s, when they drained the swamps, so our block isn’t that interesting.
Last week, I roamed around some of the cooler areas in town and took some pictures. One block sits high up on a ridge. In the right spot, you can see the Manhattan skyline.
The homes on the ridge are huge and are surrounded by mature trees.
I need to check out the interiors. Because I’m nosy.
