This is right across the street from the shot in last night's photo. I remember the first time I lived where zoning was relaxed, and commercial and residential uses existed on the same block. This was in Springfield, Illinois, the state's capital, where I had moved with my husband and children. I was a child of the suburbs, and it seemed exotic to me and charming. I still find it interesting and desirable. I want to be able to go downstairs and get a newspaper or a cup of coffee! Well, dammit, the block I live on now, in Inwood, is strictly residential. I just can't afford to live in a mixed environment, I guess.
Of course, I'm getting a bit far afield here as this block doesn't exactly offer newspapers and coffee. It doesn't have that quality of being in the thick of things, which is part of the appeal to me. But I'm still charmed.
See map.

This is one of my favourite, Mary. Your images are very deceiving. At first glance, they appear very sparse, yet there is so much happening that they hold on to you.
the color in this pic is very striking. It draws me in.
