Spring Lake is a town where you can walk to get to almost everything, and when you walk everywhere, you pass a lot of houses and have a lot of time to think things about them. Some of them you think about more than others. Whether it's a house I've lived in, a house that a funny thing happened in front of, or a house that I always thought was abandoned but was, in fact, a library, these are the houses that are "important", at least for me.
