The neighborhood


En la ciudad, un Pueblo. 


Mount Pleasant is a really cute community. In ways that make me nostalgic about Chicago, it's a really defined neighborhood. It has a history as an escape from the city, the part of the neighborhood where I live is in the vicinity of about four large churches (one of which plays organ music on Sundays that we can hear from inside the house!), a handful of a charter schools, and the long strip of shops that make up the commercial part of town. On Saturdays, there's a farmers' market!


I bought some delicious goat cheese and strawberries that will make up my lunch sandwich of next week. The people around were all really friendly. Even the inevitable people ready to accost you with a clipboard were talking about neighborhood concerns -- a petition to start a community wifi network and tips on weatherizing your home.


Welcome to the neighborhood!
