She’s the proud mom of three cats with three grown children who drive her crazy.

But it has its own quirky and gritty charm. The streets are lined with a variety of second-hand stores, including Goodwill and an army-navy surplus. The hub of the local community is Bill’s Hardware, where the widget you want is usually hanging from the ceiling. Northside may be far from upscale, but it’s the perfect place to reinvent yourself.
