Life on the Hill

Its been five years since I moved from the big shouldered city on the shoreline of Lake Michigan (Chicago) to the southern influenced midtempo pacing of Washington DC. The transition was needed and embraced having just completed my studies in design.

I settled comfortably and without much drama into a affordable and recently renovated 12 unit apartment building in the Capital Hill neighborhood. I marvel at how fast I adjusted to the white wall apartment life after spending eight years of living in community and sharing my living space with others.

The best part of the neighborhood is the convenience of services. I love being able to walk to the market (2 blocks), the metro (3 blocks), the cleaners (1/2 block) and church (1 block)...
