Where'm I gonna live?

[Undertoad]

So far, so good...

There are downsides to living right next to the Mall though, and that is sirens are as lively as they are in the city. With three major highways coming together in this one spot, there are helicopters too. And a ton of traffic just rolls down my street because it's a short cut for some people on some routes.

Which is why it's cheaper. No family can live here. There are no sidewalks. Nobody should be walking anywhere past the end of the driveway. The big, dangerous road is 200 feet away and it's big, loud and very dangerous.

Still! Went back to the old place last night, where I still have about three carloads of crap to haul out. With no heat and no light, the place was miserable. And then I heard the sound of water... it was a pipe joint, failing in the freeze and putting an inch of water into one side of the basement. I was able to get down there and turn off the incoming water at the first valve into the property.
