I took a walk down Water Street this morning and it was ver cool, but only served to make me homesick!

It must have been a Sunday in Eastport around Halloween in 2007. City Hall is closed, decorations and my foundation is torn out. I get my detective license next week.

I'm sure you're right as I see a scarecrow set out at my neighbor's house. He had a massive stroke Halloween night and the scarecrow had already been put back in his garage. So that's why I know it's October. I'm thinking with the amount of leaves on the ground, it's about the middle to third week in October.

I noticed that too... the house across the street from mine hasn't been torn down, which means it couldn't have been this fall, and David and Vicki have some pretty strange characters sitting out front!

Have you heard how he's doing? I haven't heard lately. They ahd just put up their fence and he was working on another article. Good man.
It's neat to look around all the different streets. Wish it would let me go up top of the Battery Field. Great view from up there. Maybe you have to pay for the view there like anywhere else on the island.

I'll DM you a link to their website - he's doing pretty well all things considered.

Did you guys discover that some of the street names were incorrect? Madison isn't labeled right. I was a bit disappointed about not being able to go down towards the water on Capen Ave. There was a house a really wanted to see, but overall it's pretty cool.

I get a kick out of them calling it CAPON instead of Capen. Chicken Avenue?!?!?!  And there is no Eastwick Court. And they earn the big bucks I suppose.
