Won't You Be My Neighbor?

So, let's make the most of this beautiful day
Since we're together we might as well say
Would you be mine, could you be mine
Won't you be my neighbor
Won't you please, won't you please
Please won't you be my neighbor

Wow. . .a Mister Rogers flashback.  For those of you who don't remember or don't know who Mister Rogers is , you should watch this video http://video.pbs.org/video/1415187976/ .  I spent my childhood watching Mister Rogers hang his coat in a closet, zip his red cardigan, and change from his dress shoes into his tennis shoes.  Yeah, I know I will be picked on for admitting this on the Internet, but I loved this show.  As a child, my idea of a perfect day was an episode of Mister Rogers and a Math Workbook.  (Mom, I can't believe you allowed me to be so nerdy!)  Okay, Okay, so what does this have to do with our house? 

Mister Roger's show was based on a "Neighborhood of Make-Believe."  The Cottontown Neighborhood reminds me of a real life version of the "Neighborhood of Make-Believe." 

History of Cottontown:
Cottontown is a twentieth-century downtown Columbia suburb that extends from Elmwood Avenue, to Anthony Street west to Sumter Street and east to Bull Street The neighborhood sits on land once owned by the Wallace family, who, in 1893, sold to the state property which is now the S.C. State Hospital campus.
In the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries, the area near the Wallace tract was a bustling commercial district. The intersection of Main and Upper (later Elmwood) Streets was known as Cotton Town, named after the cotton storage warehouses that operated there.  Although several early twentieth-century house types are present, including Tudor revival and colonial revival, the craftsman bungalow is the most prevalent type. 

Anthony Street is the BEST street in Cottontown (I am not biased at all)!  Below are our immediate neighbors houses.   

So what do you think . . . WOULD YOU BE THEIR NEIGHBOR? 

Until next time,
Jewitte

**I interrupt this blog post to bring you some breaking news**  After sharing my post topic with Rod, he has admitted that Mister Rogers was his FAVORITE show.
