For Your Consideration

This was written by Edwin O’Connor in his book “The Last Hurrah.” It is something I liked and remembered because it spoke of my feelings about my own neighborhood. Give it a thought, and I think you will like it too.

“I suppose it’s the mark of the provincial man, but in any case I find that I have a special and lasting love for this place, which is so obviously just a place, which has no particular beauty or grace or grandeur of scene, but which is, quite simply, a neighborhood, my neighborhood, a compound of sights and smells and sounds that have furnished all my years.”

And a reminder: today is the beginning of the Kindle sale on Once Upon My Time- it is free from now until Sunday.
