City's Edge

I live on the edge of the city. My neighborhood of Cleveland Circle is quite urban. Across the street, literally, Boston city limits terminate, and now you're in the suburbs. And that rather arbitrary distinction could not be visually more stark. Because across that street there's a giant felid and a reservoir surrounded by woods. So if I want the city, I come out of my brownstone and go left. If I want natural surroundings, I go right. I'm grateful to live in an area that offers me two environments I enjoy and am equally at home in.
