Birdhouse Tour"},"content":{"rendered":"<h3>I live in the city of Syracuse, and it is amazing how much of a neighborhood feel we have in this area. \u00a0I even wrote about the history and gave a mini tour of the neighborhood <a href=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/2011\/09\/20\/neighborhood-tour\/\">here.<\/a>\u00a0 There is a creek, or we call it a brook, that is about a mile long near our house. \u00a0There is a street on each side of it so that it serves as the median. \u00a0 We have multiple end-caps along the street to store plowed snow in our winters months. \u00a0 Last year, we noticed a birdhouse up at one of the end-caps. \u00a0Then one by one birdhouses started popping up at the other end-caps. \u00a0Before we knew it, someone was planting flowers. \u00a0Now we have these fun birdhouses and beautiful flowers for the neighborhood to enjoy.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-19330\"

called the mayor&#8217;s office multiple times to have them remove the house.
