October 1997

You know the old saying: " You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy", or something like that...

If you feel comfortable in a place, especially where you live, even if you leave that place for a little while, chances are you will come back, and feel that this is the area where you belong.

I feel that way about Squire Road, or for you travellers, Route 60.

It's great to live in a small but very complete block where if you don't have to depend on a car, you don't have many worries. In a 360 degree radius, I am happy to say that I am in walking distance of a full range of services from multipurpose shopping, groceries, and the like, food, entertainment, and public transportation. It is an ideal place for both young and old, single and families to live. I can walk out my door, go out for an hour or two, and come back after accomplishing a great deal in a short period of time.

And, I can do everything with a little piece of mind. The pace doesn't have to be breakneck. I can enjoy the experience. No rush. Life can be a daily vacation if you just realize what is outside your back door.

I think I'll go for a walk. Care to join me? You won't regret it.
