The totem of Chickasaw Way


If this little neighborhood could have a symbol or totem it would surely have to be this: a picket fence. All of the houses in the area are fronted by fences of this nature. They are all painted white but they differ somewhat. Some of the pales are narrow and some a bit broader. Some are spiked at the top and some flat. This was because the builders of each new house varied the style of picket fence and, apparently, there was no standard set early on. This is being remedied now and the fences are becoming more uniform as they are replaced.
