I know I’m “home” and should know all the areas within a 20, 50 mile radius from my mom’s house and around the city, but with the exception of once or twice a year visits, I’ve been away from here since 1983. So, it’s almost as if I’ve moved into an entirely new and alien land for me.

Just seeing houses on these real estate search sites isn’t enough. I still need to find a local real estate agent and once my house sell goes through and the weather cooperates, I’ll be able to do a more thorough search.

Until then…
