20 years ago this neighborhood felt cool to browse for vintage clothes and used books - it’s changed a lot but still has appeaL for kids. Highlights: Vaca’s Creamery for vegan root beer floats, Reckless Records, Myopic Books, the 606 (walk east to end at a great playground).

“I read a Substack called The Seasonalist that focuses on “joyful anticipation”, so to get out of a rut I try to build it into my life in different ways. One of the easiest is to pick a place I regularly pass on my commute that catches my eye, and make a real plan to stop and actually go in and see it in person. Maybe it’s a bar or restaurant that I make a plan to try with a friend or family member”
