St. Louis is indeed a city of neighborhoods. For better or worse, I truly agree. Making the change, the move to another neighborhood, is almost like moving to another city. People love their neighborhoods and blocks and streets and homes in this town. I like that. People are protective and proud. They think you're crazy to move. And that is good. There is a strong sense of place in this city.
We are looking for all our needs within a walkable distance...or at least a reasonable scooter ride.
Our little spot in Boulevard Heights or Holly Hills Addition (depending on who's talking) does not meet our needs.
Here are the things we want within walking distance:
cleaners (where did all these wool sweaters come from?)
library (shan and ben are avid readers)
coffee shop (many lattes required)
deli (is there anything better than a sandwich?)
24-hour breakfast joint (eggs at 2:00 a.m., or after church...need both)
park (gotta have somewhere to run, relax, contemplate)
3 bars (gotta be able to walk home from a good bar now and then)
5 independent restaurants (love the carry out and affordable dining)
post office
bank
I think TGS/TGE and TGP have all these things. I think this could be the place for us.
