Day 99-Skeletons

[load]

This was an entertaining walk through a neighborhood that is still being built out.  In addition to gaps between houses, lots that haven’t been built on yet, preparations are underway for the next addition to the subdivision to the south.  Its nice to get a peek at the skeleton of the city under construction.  In this case it appears that existing streets are generally to be extended to the south. (This confirms the story told by the current map of the city, and discussed a few days back, on Day 91).

The new Citation Road is also visible from this subdivision, just west of where it crosses Greendale Road.  Citation Road is being managed by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, which has has details on the project.

 

Day 71-Santa, baby

day 71Today’s walk was in the Masterston Station neighborhood.  This generally felt like a pretty typical Ball Homes neighborhood from the last couple of decades (there are a few traits that seem to typify Ball Homes neighborhoods, but the giveaway here was the sign at the neighborhood entrance).  The oldest homes here seems to be six years old or so, and there are still some platted lots where houses have not yet been built.

The outstanding feature of the portion of the neighborhood I walked through today was it’s numerous manger scenes, which varied from traditional to more lighthearted.  There were plenty of less overtly religious light displays as well, but it was pretty clear that residents here in general take Christmas pretty seriously. I did get a chuckle out of the Santa and baby Jesus scene, a merging of traditions I guess.
