Just Watch Where You're Stepping.

We live in a pretty gritty neighborhood. 

I mean, we're not talking The Wire-esque Baltimore, here, but it's not exactly Mayberry. 

Even still, we have moments and places of utter loveliness within throwing distance of our humble (and breaky) abode:

Our neighbor's Koi pond. The girls sometimes think this
is the Aquarium. Even though they've been to the real
one, I've yet to properly correct them.

We live four blocks from Manor Playlot, the manicured little park
that's right down the street from Blago's old house. It's quite
lovely there, even with all the corruption nearby.

They do okay for city kids. Zuzu can even be barefoot around here.
Even if she can never, ever, crawl on the ground of this park.
