The Great Snow Trek
A winter storm rolled through the city this afternoon and evening. All in all, we figure we got about 5 inches within a few hours. The roads were treacherous to navigate, but we weren’t satisfied staying in on a Saturday night.
Our insistence on living in a walkable neighborhood proved, yet again, that car-based suburban life isn’t for us.
We strapped on our boots, threw on our heaviest coats and hats, and hit the streets on foot to support a few bars and restaurants that we enjoy. We trudged through the snow to Darkness Brewing first, met up with Chelsea there, then marched through falling snow to Wayfarer Tavern. After a pizza and a few drinks, we continued on to Tuba where we were the only customers at the end of the evening.
I took a load of photos throughout our journey. Picking one wasn’t easy, but I think this one sums up the vibe rather well. Snowy, deserted streets, a lighted snowflake decoration illuminating the storm, cozy houses blanketed after hours of accumulation, and just a couple of friends navigating it with the promise of pizza and beer at the next stop.
10/10, great night.
