The scene.

This
Is
Hampden.



Well, actually it's 36th Street, which is what most people know when you first say you live in Hampden.

This is my street:


I live in a rowhouse that was built in 1928. Thanks to the never ending knowledge of my next door neighbor Jane, I know for a fact I am the 4th owner of this house.

Jane has lived next door for almost 30 years. She is about 70 years old.

Next door to Jane is Shirley. Shirley has lived in the neighborhood for 30 years, but moved to our street in 1987. When her husband left her for another woman. This causes Shirley to be rather "rough around the edges".

When the "Snowpocolypse" hit Baltimore on February 5th, 2010, neighbors were forced to get to know each other and spend quality time having many "stoop conversations".

Even though life has returned back to normal, and spring is in the air, our time spent during the snow storm has carried on. Often resulting in afternoon conversations on warm days when I get home from work.

This is a blog dedicated to random conversations.
Enjoy.
