This was a tribute to the particular way it’s felt to live here. I plan to take photos in the city, too! New blog coming soon…

And I second your mom on the photos. One of the things I’ve really appreciated about this blog is that you’ve done a nice job of finding good in the suburbs and flat land, even though I know you had some qualms about moving there. (And of course making fun of both suburbs and flat landscapes is a national reflex.) I know you’ll also be grateful for all the good parts of living in the city. I can remind you that some of the things you list in this entry can also be true here (the sense of community after a storm and, in some cases, CSAs and composting). And remember, you won’t always HAVE to find a parking space, because you won’t always have to drive. Imagine that! Your new church community will adore you just as much as St. Benedict did, too.

Will you post photos of the city, too? I hope so.
