Volleyball at Laurelhurst Park

Today I drove all the way out to Laurelhurst Park in Southeast after work
just to play volleyball. Really, that's a silly justification, as SE is
far away and I suck at volleyball. But what I got instead was yet
another short trip out to unknown places; the Laurelhurst district is
full of quaint old 1930s/1940s era houses, complete with porches, actual
gables coming out of the rooftops, narrow driveways for rinky-dink cars
and (presumably) hardwood floors. I spoke with Joe, who lives in the
area, and he said that it is a nifty (and inexpensive) area to live in
if you like old buildings.
