rebeccmeisterSo the snowpocalypse nor'easter delivered unto us around 2 inches of snow.
Stuff looked precarious enough this morning that I decided I should probably walk over to the credit union instead of trying to bike there. It's about 3 miles away. Looking at my list of hoped-for errands, I figured it would be a more worthwhile trip if I also walked over to the grocery co-op for groceries.
After that 6-mile jaunt, about half of it laden with groceries, I'm tired.
The nice thing about walking around is noticing things I don't have the wherewithal to notice while bicycling. There's a new coffeeshop on Madison Ave, Iron Coffee, that looks quite nice. It's in the strip of businesses near Quail Street, so only ~5 blocks from here. There's also a new coffeeshop in the place on Quail Street that used to be a lovely, slouchy coffeeshop spot. The internet mapping service says the other new coffeeshop is "temporarily closed," so I guess we'll see about that.
The movie theater up the street on Madison Ave also looks like a good time, and is next door to a place called Bard & Baker, which is a bakery/coffeeshop/board game place.
I'm not ready to sit in enclosed spaces with other people without a mask on, yet, but I'm hoping that does become possible again at some point. Maybe by then I won't be getting home from work after 7 pm every night. Yeah, right.
