A newsletter from I Love Fair Oaks

The Front Porch.

For people who still believe community should feel personal.

Hi, neighbor

Come sit a while.

When I was a kid, almost every house in the neighborhood had a front porch. We played on the steps while the grown-ups snapped green beans and caught up on everybody’s news. Life moves a lot faster now, and most homes don’t have a porch like that anymore. But we all still love the idea of it.

These days my front porch is coffee with a friend and a walk by the river. We cross the bridge, wave to the bike riders and folks on horseback, watch the kayakers drift by, and spot a deer or two. Sometimes a skunk. Once in a while, a coyote.

That’s what The Front Porch is. A little letter from your local townie, full of stories about the people and places I love, what’s new around town, and a few of my own thoughts along the way. Straight from my heart, like catching up with a friend.
