Why I Live Here
carrie
I'm doing some work with a friend on her excellent web site, Laini's Little Pocket Guide, a natural online outgrowth of a great, smart, insightful pocket guide she's published to both Easton and Bethlehem. The world needs more fresh, original voices. Anyway, one of the first things she wrote after the site went live a couple of weeks ago was something called "Why I Live Here," and so, because I'm going to work as online editor for her site, I suggested I write one, too. It took me a matter of minutes. I can't remember the last time I wrote so quickly and with such conviction. What do you think? Why do you live where you do? After a while, it moves beyond proximity to your job, especially if you are purposeful about it and have bought a home.
