Just a brief note on the new house

We close on the new house this Tuesday. I'll be glad to get out of mold central. Yes, mold. Ick.

The new house is in an interesting neighborhood. Prior to the 60's and 70's it was the nicest neighborhood in town, lots of huge house built by wealthy white attorneys and doctors. Then in the late 60'sand early 70's the city thoght it would easy racial tension by taking the houses and giving them to poor minorities at a great loss to the city.

It eventually turned into the most dangerous place in the city. Then around 2002-03 a couple of very wealthy Atlanta attorneys adn a couple of "alternative lifestyle" couples thought that it was a shame these great old houses were going to hell. They started buying them to live in and slowly turned the neighborhood around (well, it's a work in progress).

Our street is pretty safe. I won't be walking around late at night alone though, and hey, I'm well armed, heavily tattooed (well moderately--I'm working on it), frequently drinking, and almost always angry so I don't really think I need to worry to much ;)

Plus the house has a Harry Potter closet!! And a huge attic and a see through fireplace.
