I Love Living ... in Park Slope

I moved here by accident, and am so glad that I did!

As you become more of a fan of my blogs, you will realize that I'm always going to be talking about how I love living here in Park Slope. It was entirely by accident, and I'm so happy about that accident.

I moved from Lakewood, Ohio. This community is pleasant and up beat, bordering to the north is Lake Erie, to the west is Rocky River, a more upscale suburb, and to the east and south is Cleveland, Ohio.

Growing up in this location gave me a sense of comfort, and security. I never traveled out of my safety zone. I oncewent on on a field trip to New York in high school '67 and then in '71 to RCA to meet-up with an A&R rep to sell a couple of songs. I liked the energy I felt, but also was afraid to be in New York.

Wow, friendly! Let me repeat, friendly people, a great park and library, and botantical gardens. Streets filled with energy, so many stores.
