Harbor Town
 
I spent an hour, I believe, driving and walking around in Harbor Town. It is different from any other place in Memphis.
It is all fairly new, the architecture isn't exactly uniform, but all buildings seem to belong and definitely southern.
My wife will correct me on this, if I'm wrong, but I think the town WaterColor in Florida is an exact match to this little village. I also believe that the movie "The Truman show" was made there.
(I know my wife: "The correct town is SeaSide, not WaterColor"...)
 
The city of Memphis is just a stone's throw away, across Wolf River. Plenty of water still, it is licking the basements of the buildings next to the water.
 
The nesting birds didn't seem to worry too much, no vacancies in this condominium.
 
I was surprised to find the grocery store / deli / cafeteria filled with customers. It was indeed lunch time, but this place doesn't seem like an office area. I had no idea that people actually have their jobs here. Not a bad place to be working or / and living in, it is quiet and it feels safe. I saw a few young mothers with their children at the playgrounds, they seemed very comfortable.
 
There are lots of BMWs and other expensive cars here, I'd say that the typical residents are fairly well off and equally young, in their 30s, maybe 40s.
 
I saw vines climbing at almost every house, I wish mine would grow like that.
 
I would miss my back yard. And the next door is a little bit too close to my taste. But it is a comfortable, modern and safe area.
