#155: Get Lost! (Friday, December 18)

"The best thing about getting lost is what you find along the way."

So the other day I was wandering through my neighborhood, just exploring some streets I've never walked on before. I got "lost" in the hood, and happened to walk by a house with the shades open. The design inside completely contradicted the outer appearance. It got me wondering if there were any "green" brownstones in Brooklyn.

I went home did search, and guess what? The owner of the first completely green brownstone in Brooklyn is my neighbor, and he actually does green projects for a living. I'd spoken to him so many times before and admired his backyard, but had no clue. Imagine that.

It's good to get lost sometimes, just imagine what you can find.
