I've been living downtown for over a year now. I just love everything about it. I've been casually following the development down here for at least 10 years, when I was a senior in HS. I was sold on living here for a while, but it's funny how when I tell others where I live I still get that "look". In any event, I'm amazed at how fast development is down here - at least with new businesses. And the night life is great. I really feel like I live in a neighborhood, a community. I mean, what place do you know where the owner of the convenience store tells you he loves you? (I'm talking about that place across from Pete's, by the way) It's a cool energy and I'm glad I've made it home.
I know I'm rambling but I just wanted to make my presence known. I've lurked on this forum for years. And also, say a big thank you to all of you who keep me updated with what's going down in my hood.
