The Bouldin neighborhood, in which I parked to walk over to the Trailer Park and Eatery and where the house I visited in the morning was located, is characterized by an eclectic mix of aesthetics. While this new home might not have been the most graceful on the block, it was typical of what I drove by: a mix of old and new as well as traditional, modern, and even wacky all right next to each other.
