You know how movies sometimes have that intimate “downtown” area? We are fortunate to live 1 block from that type of place (still only 15 minutes from a bigger city). Tomorrow is the annual close-the-streets small town Christmas party. Add a love story and it’s a Hallmark movie.

@Mtt That’s fantastic. We have a similar “downtown” just minutes away and we take advantage of it as much as we can. (I wish we were in walking distance but we don’t make enough to afford that part of town.)

@gregmoore We got extremely lucky, finding a place pre-COVID (literally DAYS before everything shutdown). A few acres within walking distance of that area, parks around, etc. Without breaking the budget.
