Walking through the DelSo today, I was inspired to attempt an A to Z tour of my neighborhood. I had some conflicts - sometimes there were hard choices in what to feature, usually with letters I wouldn't have anticipated struggling with like "U" and "V, " but, I selected my favorites or those I wanted … Continue reading A to Z in the DelSo, Part I
