Close to home
Some people try to move as far away from their childhood homes as possible, but Andrea Siegel reports today on those doing the reverse:
Patrick Bollinger, who last fall moved from Delaware with his wife, Brooke, said he can't explain why it feels right to be a stone's throw from the Timonium house he grew up in and where his parents still live.But he fondly recalled a childhood filled with friendly neighbors and a sense of security. ... Their real estate agent, Trish Denny, of Long & Foster in Bel Air, agreed: "It's kind of that Linus-and-his-blanket thing."
Anyone here live very close to your first home? I don't -- though I'm not far away by car -- but one of my brothers-in-law bought the house next to the one he grew up in.
