Head up towards New Brighton Park via cutting through Jor by
ohn Hendry Park (Trout Lake), and straight up Lakewood. You'll
see the house on your right. It has one of those lawns that's
a garden of whatever naturally and natively grows, but is
cultivated and maintained, which adds to the effect. It's sort
of a flat-roofed cottage thing. The polka dots are all different
sizes, which is very animated and lively. No matter what sort of
mood you're in, the sight of it will cheer you up like a bowl of
noodles on a cold winter day.
If you hang a left off Lakewood onto 8th or 7th and head east,
you can get a lovely roller-y ride, enough to keep your rear
shifter pretty busy.
cheers,
Tom
