Park in the park

After a wonderful breakfast at Cafe Chloe (coffee and the best ham and
cheese croissant in town), Lyle and I took a long troll downtown San
Diego. It was still early and the city was just waking up with places
opening and people going to work. I rarely am downtown unless for a
specific event or occasion so that is a side of our city that I do not
often see. There are still a lot of empty front windows reminding you
about the economy. On the other end there are still quite a lot of
constructions going on. Condos being built all over town with a
starting price still not as low as I would have thought in these bad
financial times. I could not afford to buy something big enough to
have a roommate to help me pay the mortgage. Even rent is
astronomical. I guess you do have to pay for the privilege to say "I
live downtown". Places the size of my appartment asking for $1500 more
than what I pay (granted I do have a sweet deal, but still). Even some
low income housing appartments were more expensive than mine. I guess
I will have to stay in North Park for now. Who needs a view of the
stadium. I do not like baseball anyway!
