I have always loved looking for a new place to live. When you grow up in the City of Pizza and Bagels moving is what you do. There is always a bigger space in a better neighborhood to be found. Somewhere out there is that amazing deal.
I am more than happy to go house (or apartment) hunting with a friend. I love to see the insides of empty homes. I love to imagine what it would be like to live there and can often come up with an entire alternate life after just stepping through the door.
I have a sister who shares this passion with me. When Angel was little and I could no longer take living in a one-bedroom with him and my ex, my sister took me apartment hunting in her neighborhood. We were very excited at the thought of living near each other, especially since we both had boys a year apart. While it was stressful, we had a blast looking at all the possibilities. And then one day I walked through a doorway and knew that I found it. My dream apartment and it was within my price range.
I lost the apartment in the divorce and miss it to this day.
My sister continues to live in that neighborhood and has taken her love of empty apartments a step further. She now helps other people find their dream home and she blogs about it at Uptown Girl. I love having another family member in the blogosphere and I get to read about my old neighborhood.

It's a nice blog, because your sister discusses both the area and the homes in an engaging way.
