Make a Case for Your Neighborhood on This Week’s Open Thread

As we do every week at this time, we're handing Racket over to you, the readers.

Where do you live and why?

Honestly, we're not doxxing you. For this week's Open Thread, we just want to hear you pump up your neighborhood. What brought you there? What's kept you there? Why's it so much better than that other loser neighborhood three blocks away?

As for me I moved to Kingfield last year, but as a renter, I feel like I am in Kingfield but not of Kingfield. I was in Corcoran for over a decade before that, and while I was happy there, it was a little too residential. It's nice to have more restaurant options nearby, especially the wonderful Thai Curry, and the Bryant Avenue bike lane has changed my life.

OK, your turn!

As always, feel free to ignore this prompt and talk about whatever you want. This is your Open Thread after all.
