Reasons I Love Living Downtown: A Shout-Out to the Homies

1. I love our loft
2. The dog park is way cooler than a backyard--Puddy has so many friends!
3. I have friends just a few feet or floors away
4. I always have an excuse to get out of something..."I don't want to drive all the way out to the county..."
5. All of the local stores and boutiques know me, Winnie, and Puddy
6. I love Uma!
7. Our favorite thing in the summer is to walk down to the Sidebar, Tin Can, or the Tap Room for dinner outside
8. Gelato is never more than 2 blocks away
9. I feel really safe in our loft building
10. Andy rarely has a list of to-do's around the house
11. There is a huge sense of pride and community down here
12. I love the Reinbergs...best neighbors ever.
13. I like being a little different than everyone else I know--not much else is that different
14. I could write a book about all the different stories these homeless people come up with to get a quarter--they can be very creative! Someone should hire them for their creativity...two birds, one stone.
15. Who else can say that there was a male db found by there house?
16. We walk to Cardinals games
17. We have only had about 2 spiders, flies, or insects in our loft...and no rodents. (in 5 years!)
