How can things be busy but yet nothing seems to be going on? Weekend was good. Friday night, hung out with the fam. Two year olds are the funniest people in the world, but I am so glad to give him back. Saturday was the almost perfect day. I ran errands all morning. It was 80 degrees. I listened to NPR all day and planted flowers. Saturday night cousin Sarah was in town from San Fran with boyfriend David. We hung out had a beer. Good times.
Sunday. I had gift cert's to a place called Crepes in the City. It is off Washington, not far from the gelato place. Very good. Their Bloody Mary was pretty good. Sweet and tangy on the intake and leaves a spice on the finish. The rest of Sunday was spent hanging outside enjoying the weather. Last night I had pizza and beer at Three Monkeys. mmmmmm, good pizza.
From a conversation I had Saturday night and a separate one I had on Monday, if you could choose anywhere in the city to live (realistically), where would you choose? What do you consider the best neighborhoods? In order to limit the options, keep it in the city. I think my choice right now would be, Tower Grove, but it's a little inconvenient to get to work everyday. My other choice would be Central West End. It is close to the Loop, Forest Part and lots of restaurants. It can get a little pricey. Hmmm, what do you think?
If I were single or an empty nester I would chose the CWE. There is so much to do within walking distance and it's close to the Metrolink. I don't know where I would want to live with little children.

CWE is gorgeous, of course, but I just love the Tower Grove neighborhoods. I think the cost of real estate in CWE would keep me out. I loved walking to the grocery stores and the ethnic restaurants and even Three Monkeys! And I like that Tower Grove park is right there and has an excellent Farmer's Market. The next choice would actually be more in the U City neighborhood - closer to Delmar, still close to the Metrolink and Forest Park.
