It took some adjusting, but I officially love every opportunity to compare big-city life with my small-town sympathies. Little things like living on the 10th floor are really cool (I don't remember the last time I was in a building this tall that wasn't a hotel in NYC), and big things like going to the Philadelphia Museum of Art or catching a show are just a quick car or metro ride away. I'm also totally stoked that Philly is right between NYC and DC: there's a neat "important hub HERE" feel about the place, and I'm kind of all about self-importance. Plus the news is more global and events in those cities have an impact right away (more later). In other words, Virginia is definitely home, but this Philadelphia experiment is quickly establishing itself as a promising and very fun year.
There are so very many things I can't wait to do.
Today, Dan and I are headed into Center City for lunch (and water-ice!) which is my best opportunity to learn how to be metropolitan from a native. Taking notes and pictures and anecdotes and lots lots more
