Posted on by Listify Me
As a plumber who lives in Brighton Heights, Tim Murphy gets to see the interiors of lots of houses on the North Side. But the one that really caught his eye was just two houses down from his own house on Davis Avenue. The yellow-brick Foursquare at 1125 Davis wasn’t for sale then.

Friday’s Pedalpalooza Events

Posted on by Listify Me
Dirk VanderHartKickoff Ride 2014 The Pedalpalooza Kickoff Ride yesterday was massive, winding through SE and NE from Colonel Summers Park to Velo Cult.
