New Neighborhood Construction

Summer is a busy time in our neighborhood, with renovations or new homes being built on almost every street.

This year, at the far end of our block, a new project is just beginning: a church slated to go up where a flower shop and greenhouse once stood...

The piece of property isn't large for a church, but the Romanian Orthodox community is small, we've been told.

I wonder how it will change the look of our immediate neighborhood, which is mostly homes - though the nursing home my mother lives in is at the other end of the block.
