They really do have mean dogs there though.

Normally a place like that should have a more picturesque fence, perhaps with white slats, like a picket fence. To me, there should only be iron fences around larger buildings, either cultural institutes, or homes where people of affluence live.<BR/><BR/>The first thing that struckDarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14097905937552636768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11065729.post-1119034498928773422005-06-17T11:54:00.000-07:002005-06-17T11:54:00.000-07:00there's a house at the corner of Hoyne and Schille...there's a house at the corner of Hoyne and Schiller in wicker park, my wife and i used to walk by it all the time; it's all run down and looks pretty empty. One night as we were walking by we saw a whole family of raccoons climbing into the roof over the porch and probably into the house. From that moment on that place is now known as the "raccoon house".

I suppose you never know though!<BR/><BR/>I hope some don't think I'm a meanie picking on all these people's houses lately. I know there are more important things going on in the world- this is just a houseblog so I tend to focus on those issues. <BR/><BR/>I just had to say this, my conscience was bothering me!

When Tim and I started dating we drove by this old farm house that was fenced in as part of a pasture, and the cows would stand in the doorways and look out the windows. So we named it the cow house. However, there was no crazy lady feeding the cows. I think that if I were to go crazy and start feeding an animal so it inhabited my home it should be a giraffe Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665455890155513278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11065729.post-1118994360643608912005-06-17T00:46:00.000-07:002005-06-17T00:46:00.000-07:00What a cute little house.
