Street shots on my daily trek to the gym
 

Coming up soon. Most are about 4-5 blocks from my house and the last 2
shots are about 2-3 blocks away.

What an interesting area Joe! Sure different than the planned community
where I live.

What's the age of these houses?

Some of them are probably mid 1700's. My old place much larger than
those dates from about 1800. Only reason so big is the first floor is
my work space and garage. It is a pleasant walk each day and I try to
stop and smell the roses of which there are bushes just about every
block. It is a 7.5 block walk each way and I do that just about every
day plus my gym workouts. Keeps me moving and feeling pretty good.
There are markers in that location which look like slabs of granite
sticking out of the sidewalks. I will take some pics of them for you.
Some of the homes could be older than mid 1700's. Now you go my
curiosity up and I will be talking to some of those home owners when
the opportunity presents itself.

Mid-1700's? Holy cow. Although I'm not surprised, judging by the street
layout. And they look to be in pretty good shape. Well maintained.

I love the look of a brick house but they're a rarity in Southern California
where I live. Earth quake issues ya' know.

Wonderful images of where you live, it's all a garden, I love it. So serene.

Where are these houses?
Where do the yards for the children and dogs?
Earthquake insurance on brick buildings is VERY expensive.

These houses are in the center of Philadelphia, Pa.
There are many places for the little ones. Just outside my back door
is the philly kids gym, a part of the preschool center a few doors
down from me. At the gym, for the little ones, they have an outdoor
space complete, I noticed the other day, with a garden and all.
I assume you notice the age of these buildings and they have not had
to be involved in quakes. I felt a little quake about 40 years ago
here in Philly and all it did was make my window fall down with a
bang, that is it slid down from the up position to the shut position.
That is the worst quake I have ever felt.
Oh yes and we have parks especially for dogs. They are called dog runs
and there is one just a block and a half from me.
