Haha, no I've missed the fun of hearing Jake bawling his eyes out. A few other points:
Jake's neighborhood of Black Point in Niantic is pretty nice. It's a collection of small streets, with a mix of middle-class older houses, beach houses, nice apartments, and some very expensive looking new houses. Lots of friendly people walking dogs, jogging, and doing yard-work. Absolutely not whatever hell Jake has claimed. Plenty of rainbow flags flying throughout.
There's a
pizza place a little less than one mile from his mom's house. With a help wanted sign in the window of course.
It is a little under 2 miles from his mom's house to downtown Niantic. There are plenty of upscale stores, quaint hippie stores, new-agey places, old movie theater, amazing bookstore, and more. Also plenty of chain restaurants and gas stations too. Jake's post about being in the middle of nowhere is hilarious.
Here's
the house. Not much to add. It wasn't the nicest in the neighborhood but not the worst either. There was a SUV in the driveway with a Hillary Clinton sticker that I missed in the photo. Photo makes it look worse than it is.
Hope this little story and the pictures help piece together some of the Jake puzzle.
