Being able to walk to work added to my pleasure in living downtown. Other people pay to tour the town I saw every day walking to work. She has a ringside seat for parades that pass on Randall Street. Such events are always a chance to visit with neighbors who join the crowds along the parade route. If Joan is outdoors, her garden fence and front porch are stopping places for tourists asking directions and neighbors pausing to chat.
Conversations frequently run to parking problems and the lack of stores that cater to residents.
Rite-Aid Pharmacy on Main Street another. They go to great lengths to come here and enjoy what is just outside our front doors.
