The Wild, Wild West...

Go West, young man!!!  These famous words from New York Tribune founder Horace Greeley echoed in my head. 

It was a little over a decade ago. 

I had spent the day house hunting for a rental. My wife and I were expecting our second child and larger environs were required. We loved our little house on the Eastside. All 900 sq. feet of it. It had a lovely view off the top deck of the Ali Baba Golden Dome framed between the trees.Unfortunately, an active two year old, a 120 pound Akita, and another on the way made our idyllic little family scene a trifle too cramped. We needed a bigger spread.

After tirelessly scouring the Eastside for more space , it became evident, that we would have to spend well out of our budget to get that space. So with a little trepidation, and much self entitled Eastside superiority, I started to go slumming on the Westside. I had been warned.
