Hi Chick,
No argument from me. I lived on the 200 block of West Sheldon Street and man, it's crap!!! I agree about the fencing. My philosophy is this.....if you have to do that to your house, maybe you need to move!!!!

Honestly, I moved out of there when I was 13, I am 38 now, so technically I think I am can safely say I am from the NE, not that that is much better LOL
Just kidding!

One thing I am convinced makes a neighborhood look crappy is hurricane fencing..nothing was as nice as the old wrought iron fences around the yards. Of course now, security is a big issue...
