a 2 hour walk to Harvard, Yale & Princeton







My wife and I took a long walk with our dog Diesel from the ninth and ninth area to 13th east weaving back and forth from the streets of Harvard, Yale & Princeton. The weather was amazing, one of Utah's 300 sunny days a year, and we talked not only to each other but it seemed everyone that we cam into contact with. Those quite days where the people that are out are the ones pruning the hedges, washing their cars, or sending their kids of to school. There was a specific pattern to those we felt as though we could talk to and those that we more unapproachable. Any street with a major traffic flow acted as though it was the neighborhood bully and everyone that would walk or stand on it had to put on an intimidating face and divert their attention to it in the event that at any second it might try to strike. A casual stroll for us brought us closer to a number of individuals to the community as a whole for as soon as we got home we wanted more. The neighborhood is addictive.
