I’m basically settled in to my new place now, so I should be posting regularly on the blog again shortly. It’s funny how moving simply to a new neighborhood within the same city can include a bit of culture shock.
My former neighborhood was primarily Hispanic and very working class. There were a lot of nurses, mechanics, and other blue collar workers. Where I am now is more racially/ethnically diverse, and while many are working class, there are also a ton of people who I’m assuming work in the insurance companies downtown or at other jobs that require suits.
Fortunately, there are still a few things that seem like where I was comfortable living. A post near my building (picture) is covered in some graffiti that looks like it’s been etched in and covered with white out.
I’m really enjoying that I can walk to a number of places: Jumping Frog bookstore (picture), Tisane, Half Door, Wood n Tap, Real Art Ways, work, etc.
So, basically this post exists to say that I’m still alive and will be back in the blogosphere in some capacity in the next week.
