Hrrm. I’ve lived in this neighborhood for like seven years and haven’t gotten around to doing something like this. I’ll have to fix that and see what I can add to this…
Anyway, it looks like it was a nice walk. Let me know if you’d like to go on a walk around the area some time.

Every day at 5.15p you’ll find me stuck in traffic at one of those lights. On days I go in early, I can make it to work in 15 minutes, but during any portion of rush-hours those two lights, and the two lights south of there double my commute. For those not from the area it’s a major bus terminal as well as train station and there’s one of Chicago’s truly-messed 6-way intersections just north of there.
[TANGENT]
Some urban planner tried to tame a six-way intersection by adding parks and forcing everyone heading South-East or North-West to merge with everyone heading South or North, a block away from the intersection. So you’ve got an entire extra street’s worth of people squeezing their way into traffic, and then giving them only a block in which to cut you off and cross two lanes. It works even worse than it sounds.

Yeah, you have to get pretty far out. McHenry Co. has a lot of horses and horse facilities, but the taxes are much too high and the development race to turn it all into concrete is in full swing. That means land prices are skyrocketing. Boone County is still good though, and there’s lots of room in Wisconsin.

I’m afraid if we want to stay in this area, we’re going to either have to move north or further west… since I want horses. 🙂

We lived near Lawrence and Ashland for 14 years before moving out here to the exurbian end of McHenry County. I don’t regret the move, toward the end of that time the noise and the general congestion were making me crazy. But there are certainly advantages to being in that area.
Disadvantages too. I couldn’t have my sweet horses there.

Now that it’s nice enough to walk around without sixteen layers of clothes, I’ll have to pick up my Canon and start snapping. Last time I was out, the motorized lens froze up.. because of the cold.

Maybe I should!
