Color photograph of a road in a housing development. The road bends slightly to the right. Houses that look almost exactly the same line each side. On the right side young trees that have just been planted appear in succession and trail off into the distance. Three huge red constructions dumpsters line the street. The sky is a deep blue and snow covers the ground.

About the photo: I live in the suburbs. I should say, we live in the suburbs---in a sterile, lifeless, emotionless housing development where huge virtually identical houses line the streets. If they had more character they would remind me of New Orleans mausoleums--that's house lifeless they are. Wendy, when viewing them in rows as in this photo calls them Monopoly houses. This is not our street; it is one that sits across the main road, where Toll Brothers continues to build on what was one a corn field. We can't wait to move.
