    "Lots of dogs here, very friendly to dogs and the river trail is a great addition. Many restaurants are also dog friendly. I would guess that most people in north center like dogs but there are also some wild cats that are very friendly. Dog owners may be jealous of all the happy cats. I personally don’t care for dogs but that’s not part of the question."

Summers are filled with riding your bike on the sidewalks, kids playing with chalk and water balloon fights. A highlight of our summer is the block party. We invite friends with their kids and the children play from day till night. "
