Who Are The People In Your Neighborhood?

I've been asked this question before: What are your requirements before moving into a neighborhood?

I thought this over today (yep, not much to do haha) and came up with this list (this is in no particular order):

1. Trader Joe's
2. Whole Foods, or any cool store selling organic and healthy stuff
3. A place to climb
4. A gym to do cardio and lift weights
5. A place like the 3rd Street promenade
6. Eclectic mix of restaurants
7. A cafe where it's okay to hang out by myself
8. An indie film theatre
9. A regular theatre
10. Drugstore
11. A regular grocery store (Ralph's, Vons, whatever)
12. Nice people

Hmmm. This sounds suspiciously like where I'm living now.

I do love living in this area, it's such a blast, and the people are great. Now I know why people who live on the westside never seem to want to move. I don't! No matter where my career/work takes me, I know if I were to pick a permanent place to be, it would be here. Or in a place very similar. Or France. But I'm dreaming now.
