We have made it into a cozy comfortable home, although there is still work to be done. <br /><br />I love the area too, the big trees, divsersity and walkability. And affordability - We moved there because we didn't need a great big property, but I wanted a dog and a garden, and we simply couldn't afford to buy a house anywhere else (I could barely afford to pay rent in Edmonton!) <br /><br />I was thinking about setting up my garden this year (while thoroughly enjoying my shiitake stew at lunch) and googled "shiitake logs in Edmonton" when your blog came up. I don't know if you are still in the neighborhood, but I just wanted to let you know how much I really enjoyed reading your posts.<br />-SandiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550384224965851130.post-63535898262064935432013-01-02T14:06:43.248-07:002013-01-02T14:06:43.248-07:00I'm currently looking for a house and I am int...I'm currently looking for a house and I am interested in AA because it is "revitalizing". I don't worry that it will "too gentrified", because who is to say what is "too gentrified"? I'd rather live in a community on the upswing than a downward spiral.<br /><br />That being said I'm not sure I'm ready to take a change on AA, other older neighbourhoods like Westmount are already much cleaner and safer that's no bad thing!Kevlarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493569827890113098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550384224965851130.post-71408936435018986582012-07-28T22:01:16.319-06:002012-07-28T22:01:16.319-06:00Oh the revitalization.

I am in Montrose; people don't see the beauty in these older neighborhoods, it's sad. All they see is the crime and that's such a teeny part.<br /><br />Very happy to have found your blog. I can't wait to look closer at your planting calendar! Just need to boot hubby off the laptop...<br /> PSusannoreply@blogger.com
