We walk to the farmer's market each Saturday, drive one car for a daily 3 mile RT commute and generally love the simplicity. Sure, there's no sushi at 2am or 24 hour book stores and gyms, but really, once you have kids (or even before that) did you ever take advantage of that stuff, or just brag loftily about the option?<BR/><BR/>I think it looks lovely!<BR/><BR/>But one thing, I think the neighbors get nosier the farther you get from the city, or maybe I just drew an exceptionally short straw.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785403140233495009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-29759739441980803772007-10-18T15:14:00.000-04:002007-10-18T15:14:00.000-04:00Sigh.

We had a few great years in the city, first around St. Lawrence Market (love); then Bloor West Village(double love). If we could have afforded what we were looking for at the time, we would have stayed in BWV.<BR/>But there is something to be said for having more than a raccoon crawlspace between us and the next door neighbours, and a backyard that can actually house a soccer game or two. The city still beckons and we always head down at least twice month. I only hope that transit gets better especially when the kids get older, so there are more options for them to get around.Karen MEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834425321020756655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-49941379461062726062007-10-16T10:20:00.000-04:002007-10-16T10:20:00.000-04:00OOHH, now that I see the picture I get it complete...OOHH, now that I see the picture I get it completely.

(I find if I don't wear my glasses a lot of the garbage seems to disappear!) My children, however, are insanely jealous of our friends with bigger backyards.
