Thanks to y’all of you for sending the Neighborhood Guessing Game out in style! Bolstered by all of your encouragement, NGG will likely spend its retirement tanning by the pool . . . and plotting a comeback. In the meantime, if you have any grand ideas for making an eventual NGG 2.0 better, stronger, and more fun-filled, please send them this way!
Nobody nailed the neighborhood in this final round, but the single-word entry from Susan was judged close enough for the win. Her prize: a one-year individual membership in the Rice Design Alliance. Congratulations!
Our runners-up this week are flake and wilf. And where is this place?

All that money and you’re still right on top of your neighbors.
Oh, forgot to add, I’m thrilled you’re going to bring back the NGG. It’s really fun!
“Hiding loft”?? Is that for the poor kid terrorized by the giraffe looming over the bed?
Wow – I was close. I’m surprised the lot is as big as it is.
“More fun-filled” for NGG2.0? What could be more fun than going through this house & giving the tasseled things a good swift yank? They probably keep the baby locked upstairs, cause that DR table runner is just too tempting.
