We lived in Columbia when I first came down, the street names there will make you chuckle.

Yeah, Rouse hired "The Name Lady" to name all those streets. One person was responsible for all that.

One of my faves is Pale Orchis Court. Orchis can mean either "orchid" or "testicle".

Columbia was the first place I moved to after I got out of the Army. It was still quite young at the time and it was interesting to watch it grow.

Jack, that does look like a peaceful place. It kind of reminds me of a place my brother has in southern Missouri (Which provides the venue for the vast majority of adult beverages I have consumed in the last few years.) But I can be sure that poor folks cant afford all of the lumber that you have incorporated into your porch and landscaping. I'm sure it has a lot of sweat equity in it too. I expect that you would agree that as long as a man has skills like that, he might occasionally be broke, but he is not poor.

Regards,

Good stuff, not so different from myself.
How is this for a city kid and his daughter?

The pond shot is the view from my front porch, the field is my side yard.

I dunno, but if he lived closer to me, I could certainly keep him busy.

I grew up in Cleve burbs and dont think I could go back full time but love to vist, go to concerts and events.
I made it to see Cleve Orchestra a few times this year, a couple Operas and some Jazz also. My next big event is Govt Mule Feb 2 at House of Blues and I am friends with Devon Allman (Gregs son and leader of band HoneyTribe) and looks like I am gonna get to meet Warren and the gang from Mule. Thats gonna be a great show!
Lake Erie is great for fishing and boating, other than winter its a great area to be in.

An hour from Cleve and Pitt? Sounds like my old stomping grounds.
