For those of you who live outside the area, University Park and Highland Park are together called Park Cities. Citizens of these fabled towns are called "
Parkies". Hence, my weekly fun feature which I call "
Parkie Pic of the Week" in which I like to highlight an unusual or spectacular feature of my neighborhood.
So gosh, it's the first
Parkie Pic of 2009! Can you believe it! Now, I am usually not a fan of mixing stone and brick. It can be done well. But it is usually done
bad. This house is just passing. But I picked it to showcase this week because of the entrance.
I always appreciate a person who pays attention to the details. I am crazy about the "overgrown" flora look my Parkie Sister has going on here. I like a little mess in my garden. It's always nice to see a splash of color this time of year. Doesn't this doorway just invite you in?
