It seems that we live on what used to be the 'wrong side of the tracks' in Hopewell, maybe 20 plus years ago.  This is where the blue collar workers were, whilst the professionals and academics lived on the other side of Broad Street.  It is more mixed now but properties are still more substantial 'over there'.  Also learned that Columbia Street, two streets up from us towards Broad Street, was the 'black street' in the old days.  Only a handful of houses were there and, again, it is more mixed now.  Good fun learning about our new wee town!
