Ummm, how neighbourhoods use to be designed. Not exactly eclectic but definitely not “mass produced communities with individuality removed” (I lifted this quote from Erika who commented on Carrie & Danielle’s blog today). These houses line three masculinely named streets off of Lincoln Park Avenue: Watson, Cecil and Norman.

This house stands out in the neighbourhood north of London Road, south of Exmouth and just east of Christina. The first time I went by I turned around to get another look. It is a cedar shingled home with water fountains, hostas galore, garden statues, stained glass, arbours, purple accents and large fir trees looming overhead.
Someone with eclectic tastes lives here.

Maria Street
You can smell spring this morning. Lilac is in the air on the heels of the yellow forsythia explosion. This quiet downtown street with old oaks doesn’t house many grand homes but their simplicity appeals. The street works because the feature we’ve become immune to, the two-door garage, is hidden out back. In suburbia, developers would have you believe a home’s greatest asset is its cars. Maria Street tells you it is the front door.
