We’re slowly getting acquainted with our neighbors in this urbanized area. Mixed in with the rows of tenement flats and more modern apartment buildings is a short stretch of eclectic businesses, including a tattoo parlor, florist, upscale remodeler, the “Hair Police” (whom we’re afraid will arrest us), green grocer, a Boots, a specialty beer boutique (one Oregon beer), and the smallest coffee shops imaginable (I had to go outside to take a photo). One of the most inviting spots is a yarn shop/ café, which is always filled to capacity with about 8 people, needles flying. It’s nice to be able to pop down the block for a good cappuccino at the Italian coffee shop or pick up a cheerful pot of daffodils from the sidewalk stand in front of the produce shop.
