Though I was pretty tired when I got home from my class reunion in South Bend on Sunday, Matt and I went on a walk near our house: on Southport Avenue between Belmont and Grace. We'd been in and out of this neighborhood to go to a few places, like Take Five (a Michigan bar where all food is $5) and Tango Sur (a great Argentinian beef restaurant that's surprisingly inexpensive and a BYOB).
We stopped at Paper Boy, a paper/card/gifts store that is like a larger version of Two Sided -- my favorite card store. We walked up Southport, stopping at Starbucks for an iced coffee for Matt, and then ducking into Candyality. Candyality is a large candy store with all sorts of fun classics like candy lipsticks and candy cigarettes. They had neat gift baskets of candies from different decades, and also claimed to have fantastic gummy bears. Matt and I bought some, and we agree. The store's gimmick is that it tells you your personality based on the candy you buy -- apparently the gummy candy said we were sensible, the Jelly Bellys said we were creative, and the red licorice said we were loyal folk.
Though the neighborhood was fun and active, we didn't feel any strong desire to move there. Phew. At least one we can cut off of the list.
