3 Houses

Here is a Google Streetview of a street in Cincinnati. I liked it because the 3 houses were obviously built exactly the same and then modified over the years. I also like it because these are not typical Cincinnati houses of a 100 years ago. They are shotgun type, more typical in Louisville or more downriver towns. I'll post the location in a few days..

Downtown from St Rose

One kid was at soccer practice and me and the other were wondering around the river and collecting black walnuts. What a beautiful week of weather.
