Although it makes perfect logical sense--it still surprises me that you can buy this whole Victorian house from 1893 in Vinton, Iowa for a lot less than we bought a small condo in a slightly older Queen Anne house in metro Boston.

Vinton is a town of about 4k people and Benton County has half the number of inhabitants that my town does. Middlesex County, MA is 1.4 million people. We’re a major center for tech, medicine, universities, finance, and tourism.

The photos give me a distinct sense of the different places. I don’t know what other people will see.

first row: The Vinton House, haunted piano room, and map with closest city. second row: detail of our exterior, our living room (before we bought it), Boston map.

#I can't share photos of our current livingroom #Our old IKEA furniture is too big and totally wrong for the room #we intend to buy new pieces but we bought an electric car last month #a sofa and some chairs will have to wait #even so David has his work space in there too #that's not so bad #the rest is depressing #so let's ignore it!#I am often delighted to think that the Revolutionary war started in my yard #not the shots in Lexington #the first battle #the red coats were routed #the more I look at these images the more I want to anthropomorphize the places and make it a love story #person from midwest grew up in haunted house meet someone from around here #one is an orderly laywer and the other is an artist a free spirit a creature of the moment #but which is which?#yeah I know I just descibed Dharma and Greg #not them #2 other imaginary people
