Jamaica Plain is So Cool!
Aaron and I had so much fun last night. We had an early dinner at Bella Luna. YUM! I was so craving linguini and meatballs, and they totally delivered!
Steve tipped us off on a JP neighborhood meeting at the Milky Way Lounge. It was a cool place, and we got to meet all of our groovy neighbors. Very fun crowd, and there’s apparently tons of community stuff going on: potlucks, caroling, book clubs, running clubs, etc. I liked it a lot and will definitely be watching to see what’s going on. We all had nametags with our first names and our street names, so I was approached by a woman who lives right across the side street and met another woman who owns a townhouse around the corner. Very cool people, and I hope I get to see them again.
Also got to meet Rivera again. He was actually our third "trick or treater" doorbell ring we got on Halloween. I told him that his politician costume was excellent (tee hee). He’s about 30 and originally from Puerto Rico. Steve says he’s for rent control, which is maybe not a good thing, but as a renter, I’m having a little trouble with that concept.
Milky Way Lounge was a cool place. It’s a bar and a candlepin bowling alley. We left as the live band karaoke began. My kind of place.
Oh, and apparently, Carol can be photographed:
And here’s Steve marketing the bowling ball:
As always, there are more pictures on Flickr.
