Hot Tub

Our house sits on Lea Hill. A busy two lane road connects the older downtown area of Auburn to the homes on Lea Hill and the community college up the street. It’s a road we take every day either off the hill into town or up the road further where it connects to highway 18.

We’ve lived in our home for nearly two years and I’m surprised this is the first time I’ve noticed that one of our neighbors who lives on this busy street leading to the college have a hot tub on their front lawn. When I first noticed this a few weeks ago I figured it was a temporary placement.

Well it’s now been a few weeks and I’ve had a number of opportunities to drive past the not so private hot tub. Best I can tell the hot tub has indeed found it’s home in the front yard. The owners have secured it with an outline of cement. They have placed flower pots and other small decorations around the hot tub. But the event that tipped me off to its permanent placement was driving by after work one evening and seeing the owners cleaning and filling the hot tub.

What could possibly be the reasoning behind putting a hot tub on your front lawn, less than 10 feet from a busy street leading to a college? I hope they keep a cover on that thing or it could turn into the community party hot tub.
