Moving On

"The first step towards getting somewhere is deciding you are not going to stay where you are." -Unknown

I am moving! Call it moving on or moving in. Regardless, I am moving. I am leaving my current apartment in the Druid Hills neigborhood where I grew up for the near by neighborhood of Inman Park.

I do like my current apartment- don't get me wrong. However some of the charm that initially drew me to this 1940's red brick apartment building is starting to wear off. The charming wood floors that I do appreciate aren't quite as charming at 4 am when they are creaking as my upstairs neighbor paces back and forth doing god knows what.

A washer and dryer was a must when we moved here. However the shared washer and dryer that costs a dollar in quarters every load is not quite what I had in mind. I can't tell you how many Sunday mornings I have either toated all of my laundry to my parents house or spent the morning begging the clerk at the grocery store to give me the entire roll of quarters so that I would have clean clothes on Monday. In a world where hardly anyone carry's cash anymore quarters can be hard to come by.

Most of all it is time for me to spread my wings. My apartment is a quarter of a mile from the house I grew up in. It is a great neigborhood- but I am looking for something with a little more hustle & bustle. I think Inman Park is a better fit right now.

So for all it's charm- and it is cute- I have raised my standards and decided it is time to say goodbye. Goodbye little apartment- I hope you have lovely new tenants.
