Nate joined us for a walk that began in a very ordinary fashion in at South Fork Park, but which led us to explore the interesting neighborhood of small houses behind the park on Picadilly and Tipperary. Is the number of no trespassing signs a good guide to the paranoia level of a neighborhood? If so, this quiet neighborhood with an unusual number of folks sitting out on their porches rates as one of the tensest we have walked. Also, Google Maps shows a connection between Picadilly and Tiffany that was not evident (or at least was too well defended to breach) from street level. We wandered over to Old Vineyard Road and found an island of nice older houses completely isolated from the main flow of traffic when the shopping center at the corner of Country Club and Jonestown Road was built. Susan wonders: How long can these houses persist? That is, will anyone but the current owners ever want to live in such a violated neighborhood? The feeling of strangeness was enhanced by the presence of an unattended open fire hydrant fitted with a device labeled dechlorination defuser...this mysterious scene inspired Jon to submit a second entry to the Life in Forsyth Orange photo competition.
