Columbia City

This post is written for our friends and family who haven't had the privilege of visiting our home. We live in the Columbia City neighborhood; it used to be a separate city 100 years ago- this year is actually the centennial. We live only about six blocks from the neighborhood center, shown in these photos. We have lots of parks to play at and lake front to splash in and throw rocks. Coffee shops abound for our espresso and cookie needs. A small library allows us to pop in quickly for the latest shark or dinosaur book. A cool toy store sells retro toys that look like they're from the 1950's. There's also a hair salon in the toy store that serves kids and adults. I'm getting my hair cut there for the first time next weekend. The best pizza in town in made in Columbia City too; they also serve gelatto- yummy! The movie theatre has a day when you can bring your noisy baby to the movie- I haven't done that yet. The first Friday of each month, all the restaurants and bars have live music; you pay one cover and get to see all shows. Lots to do! If you haven't been to visit us, come on out!
