Day 6

This walk was through a fairly typical suburban typology with the standard tree lawn and modest yard that I’m most familiar  with.  This neighborhood is south of Man O’ War, but the houses appear to be typically late 1970’s or 1980’s vintage (which seems to be backed up by parcel information).  This also appears to be a Ball Home neighborhood.  I’m certainly familiar with recent Ball Homes and neighborhoods, which seem to have certain common attributes.   I was definitely surprised by the age, and somewhat surprised by the builder.  Surely the age of the neighborhood makes it one of the older neighborhoods south of Man O’ War, though of course, I say this with only a limited sample set!  No other surprises.  There was quite a bit of lawn-mowing in progress.  Also notable were the two yards decorated with pinwheels, which seems unique to me (though perhaps these are decorations in advance of July 4th!)
