Day 10

Today, I walked through the Andover Forest neighborhood, adjacent to Man O’ War at Todd’s road.  Similar to Forest Hills walk on Day 8, these houses are probably from the same time and indeed, many of them have similar decorative keystones.  The houses are larger here and perhaps unique from all the other neighborhoods I’ve visited thus far, nary a blade of grass was out of place.  In fact, there was a variety of gardening techniques, though all seemed to leave at least some grassy areas intact.  Another notable aspect of the lots here is that they are so large there are long moments where it can feel as if you’re in a particularly well-cared for park.  One of the more interesting aspects of the sidewalk in this area is at the entrance to the neighborhood, which, instead of following the street, winds upward and through an archway, lending the path an air of mystery.  This was the kind of thing I would really dig when I would casually explore on foot.  This area has a series of ponds, so that most of the houses I passed on Brighton Place have large open space (if not the ponds themselves) visible behind them.
