We’re thinking seriously about moving. Soon, too–within the next month or so.
It’s something that had been on the horizon for a long time for a number of reasons: This isn’t the safest area in town, Diane didn’t choose this house and it does have limitations as far as accommodating a family, financial considerations, among other things… This past week brought things to a head, though, since an elderly resident just one street over from us was robbed at gunpoint in the middle of the afternoon–very brazen, to say the least. Add that to a number of break-ins over the past couple of years, and it doesn’t leave one with the best feeling about the safety of the neighborhood. And we know that there’s crime anywhere, but add it to the other reasons and you have a compelling case for at least contemplating moving.
So we’ll see. We visited a very promising apartment complex earlier today. Whenever it happens, it’ll be hard to leave this little house, but it will be for the best.
