Great for Peepers – House Tours Around the Country
Posted on April 26th, 2007 by Becky // No Comments »
In my family we’ve always called my mom a Peeping Tom, as she loves it when people leave their lights on and their shades open when we take evening strolls. I’m the same way. No, we’re not stalkers, we are just nosy and like to check out how people live. Today’s New York Times has a fantastic list of Open Houses around the country in the Home and Garden section. While the concentration is on New York and the surrounding areas, the list covers the USA from coast to coast and includes tours of historic properties, green design, designer showhouses and hidden gardens. Fellow peepers, pull out your calenders and pull up the list!

P.S. The other article worth a read is “Getting Territorial out in the Hall.”  All of the things people will do BEFORE simply communicating with neighbors is so funny. I kept thinking of Kramer putting a screen door on his apartment on Seinfeld, and how it attracted kids armed with eggs and toilet paper.
