It has a cute little downtown area
A great University, where I get to teach, do research, and go to school
and fields and fields of corn...
(above is an actual photo of a farm by my house)
DeKalb is packed from border to border with cornfields. They're actually pretty nice looking until this happens.
And then they just become sad barren fields of yellowish dry-looking grass.
Upon moving to DeKalb I was insistent upon finding a small downtown apartment. After living in London and Grand Rapids I guess I consider myself more of a city person. That, however is not the case.
This is the view from my deck. It is one of the 4 cornfields I live next to.
Here's another one...
Despite my removal from the city, my house is pretty great.
This is my deck.
You can't see in this picture, but there's a grill to the right. When you walk into the house,
you walk into the kitchen!
There is a lot of counter space, which will be perfect for when my family comes to visit for Thanksgiving. Next up is the living room...
and then the entry way, leading to the front door
I would post a picture of my room, but it's pretty messy...
Anyway there are some benefits to living out in the middle of a field.
It's always quiet, and the sunsets are really pretty. Definitely worth the 10 minute drive to campus.
Always worth the extra commute. I can speak to those sunsets. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're loving the "country" life. Hope I get to see it in person!
