1. The Ropes Mansion Gardens Like a desert oasis, this has always been a cool, peaceful pitstop on the way to the library.
2. Having an ice cream place every 50 yards. Sometimes this is kind of a pain, like when I realize that traveling in any direction with a toddler in a stroller requires going past an ice cream parlor, but at least at this age, she's satisfied with a few bites from the "kiddie cup".
3. Having almost as many playgrounds. We have one right next to our building and it's amazing to have so many places within walking distance where you can have a "pick-up playdate".
4. Random surrealism. There's something about walking to CVS to get milk and passing teenage puritans bumming cigarettes off mid-western wiccans that never gets old.
5. Halloween. Known to most towns simply as October, here it's a month-long party culminating in a 24 hour orgy of weirdness that brings out the SWAT team.
