If you are looking for some great homes or if you want to take a drive and see some beautiful one story homes please drive down W. 14th and Nicholson Street. Nicholson street has more to offer as far as very nice one story homes after a certain street. but if you drive further you'll find that going towards W. 14Tth street you get into the more expensive houses. I may seem a little vague only because I drove down this road and saw one home on this road during a showing for homes when a friend wanted to purchase a home in Houston.

I thought that Houston had more places to shop at in this area but I was terribly wrong. When I turned down this road in the first place all I saw were houses.. So I drove a bit further and found that there were just warehouses after that point. The road pretty much ends Ruthland Street and not one good place to shop. If you drive down a little further you'll find areas that have more shopping centers. I suggest going more towards Times Boulevard.

I drove down W. 24TH Street until I couldn't go any further and found Little Thicket Park again. My friend lives near the area and I had visited the park previously but I was shocked at how I couldn't remeber the area when I drove down W. 24th. If you drive down W. 24th you'll find that your taken into a different entrance to Little Thicket Park. I had non idea that this park was as huge as it was until I went in through this entrance.

If you have the chance to please read my review of W. 21st street because I didnt' experience anything magical driving on this street either when I went on this street at night. I went to W 23rd park during the day before I took my son there and I liked the set up, it seemed like they considered the parents keeping an eye on thier kids yet found a way to make it comfortable for the kids to play and feel like they can get away with whatever they wanted. W. 22nd didn't boast any great resturants, probably because I was so annoyed with it I just turned off on Beall St.

I visitied Stacey Crest because a friend of mine owns a home on W. 21st street. While walking through Stacy Crest I noticed that the homes are not only identical but the residents seem to have this defeaned sense towards the traffic and noice of ETC Jester Blvd. I went to Little Thicket Park and I didn't really have time to play or have a picnic with my son because it started to rain but, Stacy Crest reminds me of the painted houses from Edward Scissorhands. They are all the same , mundane and unpersonable.

A friend of mine who is a local resident told me that if you are in Houston long enough, if you drive down W 21st through 23rd street at night that you'll see the real side of Houston that no one really knows about. I thought that there would be parties maybe or even just more than the usual traffic. I rode down W. 21st during the day and experienced the usual hub bub of traffic goers going home. At night...... same thing. It seems like there isn't anything to do on this street but pump gas and keep moving.

I turned on Dorothy Street by accident searching for parking for Love Park. After viewing Dorothy street I wondered what the next street had to hold as far as homes. I was throughly impressed with Dorothy street's structures and the residents seemed to be in this trance of calm and bliss. I went on Alexander Street and found a fleet of homes that would rival the finest homes in my home city of Florence, South Carolina. The homes around this park seem to have this ....... beauty about them. As if someone not only lives there they have the advantage over other residents because they are so close to the park.

While visiting a friend I attended Palmer Memorial church with her on Sunday and I loved the service and the views. The church itself has the feeling of 15th century cathedrals like the ones I saw while living in Spain. I not only felt welcomed by the congregation but I felt as though I had been there before. The morning service was filled with more than shouts and jeers but this fufillment that only spiritual enlightenment can give you. Please take the time and visit this church, if not for religion but for the architecture.

I recently visited Houston with a few friends of mine as a type of mini vacation. I turned off W. 12th Street to find some good parking for Love Park and accidently went down Dorothy Street. The homes on this street are BEAUTIFUL to not mince words. The proximity to the park is great but the two story homes boast luxury and the warmth of home at the sheer sight of them. I never thought I'd say this but I'm more amazed at the fact that these homes were here than the park.

This is a great area to go into as far as homes. I was visiting the area and got lost on W 23rd. The homes in this area are one story but they are still nice none the less. I later found out that if you drive further down the road toward N. Loop you'll see more of the bigger homes. I didn't konw that there was a connection to the interstate from this area until I decided to go back on Bevis and take a look at more homes. Take alook at the homes on W. 26th Street and Bevis if you have a chance. Perfect for a growing new family.

Please someone remind me why I had the nerve tho think that I could drive down John R. Street on a day that they were having a baseball game or a gathering of some sort? I was on Madison st and thought that I Could avoid the traffic by turning on John R. Street but ended up stuck there until I was able to turn off E. Adams and head back in the directio that I came from. Detroit has alot of different functions throughout the year but please keep your calenders marked for them if your visiting or you'll get stuck in traffic too.

I took my son to Grand Circus Park on one of our last days in Detroit. I enjoyed myself the entire time of my visit and I actually liked driving on Witherell Street for some reason. The circular shape of the street reminded me of Spain and the flow of traffic that it took. There was a baseball game up the street but surprisingly there wasn't any really bad traffic in the area. The park was clean and beautiful and my son absolutely loved it. If you have a chance to visit Detroit and you want a very nice picnic take Witherell Street to Grand Circus Park. I konw that Woodward cuts right through it but Witherell gives you such a great view of the park in it's entireity.

I went to Half Past 3 Lounge for a date and I loved it ! We sat out on the patio and had a few drinks. May I just note that this was a blind date and the lounge had my interest more than he did. The staff was curtious and they gave me a drink on the house when my food didn't come out on time. The waiting time was short considering we just walked in there off the street without really making any plans or ideas of going there in the first place. If you have a chance to visit Detroit I suggest you to to Half Past 3 on E Grand River Avenue.

So, I thought I'd be smart and beat everyone at rush hour because I had just came off of Macomb street and I wanted to get back to y hotel. I was suppose to get on Gratiot Ave so I took Raynor Street to get there. BIG MISTAKE. The little short cut that I thought I mastered ( mastered ? I had been there for 5 days and tried to be Mcguiver about directions) but I ended up in back to back traffic because of the employees leaving work fro the parking lot that dumps out from Raynor to Gratiot Avenue. I need a GPS with traffic advise.

I was going to visit the Children's Hospital of Michgan to visit my best friend's daughter whom just had surgery because of an illness that she had since birth and I was disappointed at the traffic. I drove down St. Antoine Street and I could barely move. It wasn't 5 in the afternoon or rush hour , it was just packed. By the time I got to the hospital it was almost time for the visiting hours to be closed. I must admitt that there are alot of businesses and homes and I understand everyone wants to get somewhere, but jeez!

Let me just start out by saying that Macomb and Monroe street made me fall in love with the night life in Detroit. I started on Macomb street and went to Monroe Street Steakhouse and let me tell you that the food there is EXCELLENT. I tipped my waitress over 30 percent of my check because it was that good. The steak was cooked perfectly and the drinks were priced ...... well enough to where I stumbled on Monroe street and went to a club ( can't remeber the name, lol, had that much fun). These two streets were made to be together, lol.

A friend of mine who was a resident decided that he'd take me out for drinks. I thought that we'd go to some cozy little resturant but instead he took e to Bouzouki's Resturante and Lounge. I was not very impressed by that move but I was very much entertained for some reason. The staff seemed to be very pleasent and the women were very professional. My friend decieded to ask if I wanted a lap dance, I passed but the drinks were great.

I rode down this street for the last time before the Ford plant reached it's issues with keeping all the jobs. My boyfriend's father worked for the Ford plant and took us around that area. Beaubien Street didn't have much but the main office and lead to the front door of the Ford Plant. I was very sorry to see that all those employees lost thier jobs. On our recent visit we watched them pretty much try to clammer to find any silver lining during this bad time after the Senate read thier decision. Seemed like a place that should be marked as a historical building.

I remebered Bates street because we were driving off Cadillac Square and I loved the plaza that was between Bates and Cadillac Square. I stopped and had the chance to take some pictures of it. The archieture in this area is amazing. Bates pretty much just runs between a few businesses in high rise buildings. I didn't seem like it had much else there beyond the buildings and teh parking lots but my friend who was a resident advised me that alot of people walk through this area not just for the plaza or the businesses that are around the area but also because it's one of the historical areas of Detroit. The funny part was, when I asked her to give me a brief sample of history for that area, she wasn't able to.

I took a drive one day down Shelby Street with a friend who was a local resident of Detroit. I had never been to this area and she decided to take me to Capitol Park for the afternoon with my son. Capitol Park is nnot like all other parks where it's some huge mound of grass then the play area its alot less than that but you get the just of it. There were alot of sky scrapers in the area which my son loved and I had the chance to take my son for a walk in his stroller up State Street but the traffic to leave was a little annoying. All I can say is don't drive down this area during rush hour.

I was driving down Stewart Avenue and turned on N. 7th St, a friend of mine was trying to give me directions to her house. I turned down N 8th street because I missed my turn and while trying to make that quick transition to the next street off E. Mesquite Avenue, I got rear ended by another car. I turned on 7th street just to get thier insurance information and wait for a police officer to come and complete some of the paperwork. The pitifull part about it was that I ended up parking infront of my friend's house to get all this done.

I turne doff of E. Bonanza Road trying to find my way back to the 515 and found myself on N. 8th. There isn't anything here but houses and maybe one or two gas stations. There wasn't any real business that I could mention but then again I wasn't on this street for very long. I asked for directions and someone very nice pointed me in the right direction. I don't know if this review helps you but I know that this street does have some very nice houses.

I had to help bail a friend out of jail, we were both visiting from out of town. I went down Bridger Avenue and went to Richard Bourgault's law firm and Sam Harding's Law Office and I wasn't satisfied. The receptionists at both places were rude, the consulatation fees were way more than 10 percent of his bail bond and it just seemed like a complete waste of time because there was nothing that they could really do in the first place. I don't suggest that you go to these law firms. They aren't worth my time and the consultation fees.

I went to Barly Pops on Charleston Blvd and was trying to avoid all the traffic of getting out of the parking lot with Charleston Plaza. I decided to go down Lewis Avenue and it actually has some very nice homes back there. I never really road into that street before because I always just went down Charleston Blvd but it was a great short cut if I wanted to avoid all the hub bub. There are alot of one story homes in this area and it was too late at night to actually let you know about the residents.

I recently visited Las Vegas and turned down S. Casino Center Blvd and went to The Funk House, it is so great! I loved it. I found some great! There are some original glass pieces in there that you wont find anywhere. I picked up a fish glass sculpture and I found a few antique candle holders in there as well that I ended up purchasing. It's a boheimian's dream if you go in there. Please take the time to stop by this hidden treasure. You wont regret it.

The staff is very nice.

I thought that maybe if I turned off N 16th St that I could avoid any traffic or anything dealing with it. It was about 5 in the afternoon and I knew everyone was coming home but I don't know why I got swamped today but there was a massive amount of traffic going down Marlin Avenue. It was crazy! There are alot fo very nice homes if you have the chance to ride up or down Marlin Avenue but be warned it's not for the middle class or the business person who just started! It's for the people who are already established and have that great big down payment!

During my visit to Las Vegas, I went to a real estate auction on E. Mesquite Avenue. There were alot of nice 3 bedrooms homes that caught my eye. I was looking at the general pricing for realty in this area because I considered moving to Las Vegas since everyone tells you that it's the next New York. I love how close it is to E Ogden Avenue, which pretty much runs everywhere. I really think that the home that I selected in this area would have been perfect for me if someone didn't outbid me and get it. They are very lucky because I had some great ideas for that home. The neighborhood seems perfect for young couples. The homes are HUGE. Better bring a big paycheck if you want to own anything in this area.

I knew that Las Vegas had beautiful homes and realty. I took a wrong turnn and found myself on Ryan Avenue and I was awe struck. I loved the beautiful two story homes, it looked like it came straight out of the Lifestyles of the rich and famous magazine. I'm a small town girl and South Carolina really doesn't have that many large homes in my area of Florence but these were breath taking. If I had the chance to buy a home anywhere in Las Vegas it would be in this area.

I recently ran into some trouble that required me to get legal advise. I got a ticket and a friend had an open bottle in the car and I was the one who was being charged. I was refferred to Carson Avenue Partners LLC, they are absolutely wonderful! Very professional. I want to extend my deepest gratitude because they helped me beat the charge and the receptionist was very polite when I explained the issues. The street has only a few homes and not many businesses. Most business are above one another but I do suggest Carson Avenue Partners LLC if you are from out of town and you run into any trouble.

During a recent visit to Las Vegas I got a little lost while driving down W. Owens Avenue trying to get back to the intersate. I turned down Harrison Avenue to take a few moments to try to check my map and I really liked the houses that were o this street. There were alot of one story homes, very few two story ( I only saw about two ) and there were quite a few people out and about. It was a Saturday so I assumed that it wasn't this busy during the week. There weren't any resturants that were around this area ( I was looking for one because by the time I tried to keep driving I had quite an appetite). But none the less, Harrison Avenue has wonderful homes if you are looking to move to this area.
