Our old dog loved living here. Constant contact with other dogs going for a stroll in the park. Our street is not a cut through or a thoroughfare--it is 4 blocks long, one-way part of the time, and dead-ends so that you must go north on Grand. So people drive down, but they are neighbors or folks who think to themselves, "I won't go down this street again." I remember thinking that when I used to visit friends who lived a few blocks away.
But it is pedestrian-heavy. We're close to a bus stop, but more than that, there is the park. People from many blocks east of us walk past us to get to the park. And it's a lovely place, a Victorian walking park, wonderful for kids and dogs and bikes and so forth. And its presence means we meet folks we wouldn't know otherwise.
