I think it makes all the sense in the world. In some ways I wish I felt so tied to a place, particularly if it were Norfolk 'cause then I'd get to see you more! This just makes me think about more reasons I didn't capture about why this place I'm in now is home. I don't think I could ever leave the teeming multitudes of pseudo-big city life that I get being between Baltimore and Washington. I don’t think it’s one bit irrational!

The skanky motels, the weird dive restaurants, the huge Georgian houses mixed in with old beach houses. I think I will work on some photos of the area (as well as keep up with my OV license plates). :) Hehe, it’s funny because my friend Keilyn came to visit last weekend and was commenting on the diverse scenery just as she went along East Ocean View Avenue.

You should do a photo series of your neighborhood and all the places you love about OV . . you know, in your spare time since you aren't busy having a baby or anything . . . . ;) To say your neighborhood is eclectic would be a slight understatement.

I don't have that sense of rootedness to the place where I was born, though I do have a different attachment to it. Still, it's a window of insight into people who are connected in this way to where they come from, and I think it's my favorite of any of your posts to this project so far.

You are one of those people I envy! :) As someone who spent summers at my grandmother’s house in OV, I say without a doubt you captured its essence. You are one of those people I envy! :)
