http://www.braggtown.com/blog/brandi/urban-living/ The personal blog of Jim Tuttle, digital librarian and all around good guy Sat, 22 Nov 2008 00:27:08 +0000 http://www.braggtown.com/blog/brandi/urban-living/#comment-532 DaleA Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:10:02 +0000 http://www.braggtown.com/blog/?p=320#comment-532 Reading this post made me quite happy, since it's always good to learn that one is not alone in making such conscious decisions. When we moved to Kansas, alas, circumstances led us to buy a home that for us qualifies as suburban. Thankfully, this city only has 50,000 people, so suburban is a relative term here. My wife and I ride to work (riding to work with your wife is a real treat, I have to say), and my daughter walks the five blocks to her school. Our house was built in the era right before it became fashionable for a family of four to live in 3,000+ square feet, so by today's standards, it's practically a bungalow. Our furniture fills it, and we're slowly nixing the banal white and tan shades of paint.
