How long have you lived in your neighborhood and why do you choose to live there?

I have lived in Grant Beach since 2010, but I have been visiting my mother in Grant Beach since 1983. We have owned my home for over 30 years. I love older homes and the fact that there is no other house like mine. I hate suburbia. My yard has mature trees that makes it look like a forest, but I am close to downtown. I have a bus line close by if I need it. The area is very walkable. It just feels like home.

What do you do for a living?

I currently work for a cleaning company. It’s hard work, but it’s satisfying.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

My home is older and I spend time DIYing some of the repairs. I love to read, craft and scrapbook.

What’s something you’d like to change about your neighborhood?

I would love to see more owner-occupied homes, so they would take better care of the properties.

Please tell us about your family.

I live with a cat, Desi, and a red Pomeranian named Lucy.
