This is my childhood home where my mom and dad brought me from Panama City Florida at 6 months old. I am very blessed to have lived in one house my entire life.

We enjoy hanging out at the neighboring movie theatre, as well as going to the Maywood library. We love to have barbeques in the back yard with friends and family just enjoying each others company.
