Jim Lutz and Alex Carrillo have lived on the outskirts of Manor, Texas for over thirty years. Their rambling farmhouse is more than just a happy home, it's a spiritual retreat. The 50 acres of land they nurture is home to chickens, goats, and peacocks. It's also a symbol of a laid-back, rural style of living that may become obsolete. As cookie-cutter strip malls and rows of track houses invade small town America, the warmth and spirit of places like this face an uncertain future. In A Place Like This is a reminder that of the joys close to home may need protection.
