How I love my hood, the people, good and bad, the bars (Gus'), the diversity of the people (love your garden Laura, old plastic toys rule), the common courtesy that most people still have, even the down and outs (excluding Johnny F of course). The entertainment planned or not. Walking down the street and having someone smile and say good morning. The dogs, the stray cats, the shovelled walks on the side streets, the corner store (love you John). How we all seem to know what is going on with each other even though we don't know each other's names... Thanks to everyone for being a Northender, thru and true....

Girl in the hood....
