Today, I revisited the Cove Lake neighborhood near Man O’ War and Richmond.  I previously visited this area on Day 42 and Day 72, but this portion was a little more homogenous than the portions I passed through on those days, with mid-1970s single family housing throughout.  The key feature of this area is the hilly terrain.  There are views of the St. Joseph East Campus on the other side of Richmond from the tops of the hills.  Retaining walls of various sizes are in many yards.

All in all, this was a chilly day and a quiet neighborhood and there isn’t too much to add. I do like to comment on features that I like, and one house had a nice hedge around it’s yard, a nice break from the open yards that dominate.   Hedges and fences seem like they would tend to isolate houses, but when they are low enough to see over they almost feel like they have the opposite affect by connecting the entrance of a home to the sidewalk.  A neighborhood with picket fences or hedges, when well implemented, feels social and welcoming rather than isolated and suspicious.
