    "It’s a Beautiful Street. Group people take pride in their homes. When I was a little girl I wanted to live here. I dreamed of the house on Sayles Boulevard. Now I am lucky enough to live here. I took a little 1928 house it was nothing and made it into a beautiful home. People pass by all the time telling me how much they love what I have done here. I have a lot of pride in my home."
