O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Redovi šarenih viktorijanskih i Craftsman kuća nižu se duž hladovitih ulica, mnoge sa originalnim vitražima i rezbarenim drvenim tremovima koje fotografi vole da snimaju. Centralni park pun drveća nudi muzičku paviljonu, fontanu i sezonsku pijacu koja redovno privlači oko 400 meštana vikendom ujutru.

Istaknuto: Meštani organizuju jesenje takmičenje u uređenju tremova koje svakog oktobra ispuni ceo kvart, privlačeći oko 1.500 posetilaca koji šetaju pored rezbarenih balustrada i slušaju muziku violončela ispod lampica. Legenda kaže da je palma visoka 2,5 metra iza jedne kuće skrivala tajni sastanak ranih gradskih čelnika, priča koja se gotovo može čuti u šuštanju lišća pored stare kamene fontane.

Insajderski saveti

Wear comfortable walking shoes and a hat, some sidewalks are uneven and shade is patchy.
Bring a camera with a short telephoto or zoom for stained glass and ornate porch details.
Start at Smiley Park and do a short loop along the main residential streets to see highlights without backtracking.
Visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid lawn maintenance, school drop-off times, and the loudest street noise.
