Hi--Just found your blog (via Facebook). Of course I find it just as I'm planning to move from the 'hood.
Anyway, a crime comment: it's not safe to park on the Edison school side of Chattanooga; cars get broken into there pretty regularly. There are nice old trees and with very little light at night, so smash and grabs seem to happen pretty regularly. I wonder if there's a way to put a bright motion-sensor type of light on that half of the block?
Anyway, keep up the good work!
