A Sidewalk View: a smiling porch

By Dennis Sparks

The Old West Side's flower beds, yards, and porches provide aesthetic pleasures. But it is the whimsical that brings smiles to the faces of those who pass by. And it's hard not to smile when a porch is smiling out at you.

Our Buena Vista Block has talked about an 'Old West Side' garage tour...the one garage, two owners and one access phenominum. It wouldn't be very pretty though. Your porch brought a smile to my face. Pam

Have any other picturesque West Side Porches? Is there a National Porch Awareness Week?
