Walking through the DelSo today, I was inspired to attempt an A to Z tour of my neighborhood. I had some conflicts - sometimes there were hard choices in what to feature, usually with letters I wouldn't have anticipated struggling with like "U" and "V, " but, I selected my favorites or those I wanted to highlight as being part of a hip up-and-coming neighborhood. This was a really fun project, particularly with a 5 y/o whose name thankfully starts with "Q", and I encourage you to give it a try in your neighborhood. Feel free to share your personal favorites.

| Botanica Ada's - I've never actually been inside this intriguing shop, but I'm getting there - soon. |

| Cardona's - my source for delicious Italian gourmet items. |
my 10th grade did lesser known world religions as a final project. i totally know the in depth history of santaria so consider the botanica a double hit, i would love to peep it.
ReplyDeleteoh, thats me, emily by the way.
ReplyDeleteI would have known your dialect anywhere, E. We'll go together and then catch Yas and make her serve us.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this idea! I just might have to try it with my kids, especially since I am always on the look out for creative activities that make them have to think. :)
ReplyDeleteThe thing that gets me is that the new branch of APL used to be a funeral home... how's it look inside?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelley!
ReplyDeleteAJ - It's pretty cool inside, particularly in the back reading room. They don't use the Dewey decimal system, so everything is organized by topic sort of like a bookstore. Lots of dvds, too!
