My super-urban life

Yes, I’m gonna have to update the banner to reflect the reality of life in our little city (excuse me, Pennsylvanians, my little boro), but there’s no point in changing my URL after all these years, so this one will stand for now.

But the reality is a complete change from our previous car-centric life, where absolutely NO tasks could be comfortably accomplished without getting in the car (even the Stewart’s wasn’t a comfortable walk). This morning, we walked a bag of donation clothes down the street to the church donation box, then went around the block to the coffee shop (whose proceeds support a community for the developmentally disabled), where we sat on a bench and enjoyed watching all the runners and cyclists and walkers and dogs going by. Then we went down to the Phoenixville Farmer’s Market (unfortunately seasonal, not year-round like Troy’s), picked up everything under the sun, enjoyed some great music, and wandered back with our goods.

Kinda great.
