Time Warp



Walking in my neighborhood a few days ago, I came upon an area that absolutely intrigued me. Accessed by one road, this area has about a hundred homes that were built in the 1950's and 1960's. Walking the area was like being in a time warp. The homes are in pristine condition and have stayed true to their original architecture and design. Although some had been refurbished, the upgrades were done in keeping with the original home. Refreshingly, there wasn't one MacMansion among them! It struck me that this neighborhood should be preserved as a historic area. It was originally a Boy Scout camp until the developers came in the 1950's, and it essentially looks today the way it looked over fifty years ago.
