Livin' in Da Hood

Yes! Our agent called tonight and said someone else wanted to see our house in an hour! Thank goodness it was already cleaned from yesterday! We never would have gotten it ready in an hour. Phew! Andrew even got the lawn mowed and some weeds pulled last night.

We found out that the girl who came yesterday really liked the house--thought it was great for the price, etc. Sadly, her fiance is a police officer and told her not to get it because of the amount of crime in our hood. Poo. Sure, there are frequent police visits and sometimes they come with sniffer dogs. And...maybe there have been one or two stake-outs with "Come out with your hands up!" being yelled through a megaphone--but surely that's not a reason not to buy! :) Ok, so there's crime. It's mostly just druggies, I think. I've never felt threatened. It's been kind of entertaining, actually. OH well. It was a young couple that came tonight. I hope something happens soon! (and they don't know any police officers...)

So what if this is a familiar sight? At least they're catching the bad guys, right? :)
