Have you ever driven around Glendale, California? If you have, you'll almost always figure out whether you're in the North or South of Glendale. When you drive along Brand Boulevard -where most of the city's high rise buildings stand - and you're looking straight onto the hills, dotted mostly with beige, white or terracota-hued Mediterranean homes, you're going North. When you drive to the other side - the flatter side of town where the future outdoor 'Americana' mall will surely dominate, about side by side with the Brand avenue of car dealerships and the Glendale Galleria, you're heading towards South.
The great thing about Glendale is that, either way you go - North or South, you're treading on newly-paved sidewalks and along multiple constructions of townhouses and condos. There seem to be renovations and rehabbing bustling all the time. Driving along the streets everyday is just exciting! You can almost feel the earth move.
How do I know this? I live here. I drive through MacDonalds on Orange and Central every so unhealthy moment. I shop every once in a while at Nordstroms, whenever I need a make-up refill or some sale adventures. I do stop by the perfume department to say 'hi' to my friend, Virgie, or downstairs at the Petite clothes section to make Rosa's day. I sometimes go down to Ben Bridge to say hello to another jewel-buddy, Irene. Then off to my usual day-to-day sales travails!

I shouldn't say that - travails - especially with an exclamation. It doesn't really entail painful effort at all. I sell homes without any pain. With effort, but no pain. Just goes with why-you-do-what-you-do kind of thing. You are moved to do. Besides, have you ever driven around Glendale?
Better yet, have you heard of the other side of the 2 freeway called Rancho San Rafael?
