![]() Springtime on the porch
Why porches? Our love of porches began as kids.
I fondly remember my big front porch on Greenfield Street and Mary remembers times on the porch swing with her Grandma in Fremont, Ohio.
Like most people, we are drawn to neighborhoods with front porches and we are like kids in a candy shop when we travel around the country looking for wonderful porches. Porches are instrumental in creating a sense of community, and at one time they were a key location for conducting business and disseminating important information. But best of all, porches are truly memory makers - where children eat cookies on porch steps and neighbors chat about their gardens and their kids. Entire new communities are being built around porch-friendly neighborhoods where kids ride their bikes on meandering sidewalks. ![]() "Love, love, love, your site, I sometimes sit up till 2:00 a.m. or 3: a.m. looking at your website of front porches!"
