The Balusters is a raucous, wild ride through a small community with outsize feelings, but when a board newcomer suggests the installing a stop sign on the corner of the enclave’s prettiest block, mayhem ensues.
What's The Balusters Like?
The Vernon Point Neighborhood Association is a passionate bunch, whether squabbling over historically inaccurate porch railings or debating trash can protocol.
Still, no one is prepared for the neighbor-versus-neighbor battle royale that ensues when a newcomer to the board suggests the unthinkable: installing a stop sign on the corner of the enclave’s prettiest block.
