One of the things I like about our neighbourhood is this impromptu noticeboard on the street outside our flat. It's a section of fence that's been in use this way as long as we've been here.
It provides some insight into a family neighbourhood in a university town: children's furniture, yoga, public lectures, home reading groups, private language tuition.
