Touring the Neighbouhood

I went for a walk this afternoon around the neighborhood to see what's around and to see it I could find the bakery that's supposedly nearby. Unfortunately it started to rain so I never got to the bakery but I did notice a few interesting things about the houses around here.

Firstly almost all the houses are 1 floor high, so no upstairs, and most have fences around their front yards but they're little ones, only about 1.5 to 2ft high. The weirdest thing that I noticed was the driveways. Some people have cement driveways or interlocking bricks but what I mostly saw was this configuration:



2 columns of asphalt with a strip of grass in the centre, interesting.

Very interesting Val. Steen knows why the driveways are like this - it's CHEAPER! They just put sidewalk concrete slabs on each side for the wheels instead of paving the whole thing. Apparently you can see this in the older parts of T.O. as well.

I've seen them in Toronto, too. It is interesting.

I would like to see some pictures of a Kangeroo .... and then kidnap one and mail it to me.
