Outside my neighborhood, across the road that goes by it, there is a series of mansions. This is kind of odd, seeing as the neighborhood consists of regular sized single family homes and townhouses and some condos. And then, right outside the neighborhood are some mansions. From the road, you can see about 3 of them but I looked on Google maps satellite images and apparently there are 6 more that are father back from the road and therefore can't really be seen. I didn't know there were that many until I looked at Google maps. In any case, I was curious about how much these mansions costed. Apparently, the one that's closest to the road and therefore the easiest to see sold for a little over one million dollars 10 years ago. I assume the other mansions also went for a similar price. In any case, I'm very curious about the people who live in the mansions. I've never seen them, but there are cars parked outside so people do in fact live there. Also their large expanse of lawn grass is always mowed in a pattern like they do for baseball fields or golf courses. Presumably they pay someone to do that. If they were more immediate neighbors maybe I'd have seen them but they aren't so I have never seen these mysterious people. I kind of wish I had an excuse to go knock on their door and ask about what they're like since I'm very curious. People who live in mansions are a bit of a mystery to me intrinsically. I wonder what kinds of jobs they have in order to be able to afford a mansion. Although, they're probably less rich than some because if they were richer they'd have bought a mansion in the rich people neighborhood farther south. There, there are loads and loads of mansions, not just a few stuck across the road from a regular neighborhood. I feel like maybe the people who live in the mansions are kind of lonely and isolated because the majority of other houses within the vicinity are regular ones and therefore maybe the mansion owners feel like they can't relate too well to their not so immediate neighbors. They're too rich to have a regular house, but too poor to live in the rich people neighborhood where there would only be other mansions for miles and miles.
So I wonder about these people, because as it stands I have never ever seen them and know nothing about them. I assume it's a husband and wife who live there and maybe have children, but who knows. Maybe it's a husband and husband who own many cats. I have no idea.
My (Rachel, a future staving linguist and/or journalist) personal blog and part-time unofficial Peter Sarsgaard fansite. This is a blog about, really, a ton of random ramblings of mine. This blog's posts usually cover "a... unique topic" according to one reader.. Maybe it's more of an online journal of mine. Sometimes I write about music, movies, and tv, in addition to whatever else comes to mind that I deem worthy to write about. Have fun (hopefully) reading it!
