So, my apartment is 3.5 miles from Temple's campus, which itself is the edge of downtown (Center City area). The complex is right off Broad, but tucked away into a very green, quiet, clean little neighborhood. My studio is on the 10th floor, with a lot more space and bigger windows than I had anticipated. The view is phenomenal, and I can't take any pictures that do it enough justice. Plus my window faces due west, and the sunset every night is beautiful. I have a kitchen, dining area, big desk, full bed, big bathroom, and way too much closet space. This is the best excuse to shop downtown.
Temple is gorgeous, and the Anderson Hall building is right across the street from the uber-enormous library. It's so far removed from W&M's campus, but really nice and bright and exciting nonetheless. I haven't been able to walk around down there yet, but as soon as I can I'll get pictures posted so you can gasp. I'm so glad I only have class in the one building though - how does one get between buildings on an urban campus like that? It was hard enough getting from Morton to Tucker in 10 minutes, I can't imagine trying to get from one side of Temple to the other in the same crunch ...
And downtown, the lit
tle of it I've seen, is awesome. Center City is this great meld of NYC and DC all in one: there's tons of green space and historic district area, but also moments of skyscrapers and the odd impressive sculpture. I walked past so many cafes and coffee houses and bars and hope I have enough time in a year to check them all out! Plus, the sheer number of art museums, galleries, concerts, shows ...Guys, it's already awesome. Start planning your visits to B&B Anne now, I'm taking reservations
