As you are emerging from your post-turkey haze, trying to figure out how to entertain lingering friends and family, shopping local or setting off in search of the perfect Christmas tree, we’d like to take a moment to say that WE are thankful for YOU. You read, share posts, comment and email us your questions and ideas. You love the neighborhood as much as we do and continue to make it fun and worthwhile for us to do this. So cheers to you this holiday season!
Here are a few other things that make our contributors thankful for the neighborhood. What does Capitol Hill make you thankful for?
“I’m thankful for a neighborhood that is livable, walkable, runnable and bikeable, which is also home to amazing friends, and neighbors who have become our extended family. There is no where else I’d want to spend this holiday and every other holiday.”
“I’m thankful for living in a neighborhood surrounded by family and great friends.”
“I’m thankful for creative neighbors on the Hill, such as those who bring us the the 12th & D spiders, the owners of the Little Libraries and the ardent fan behind the Michael Jackson House. There’s always something new and interesting to see as you’re walking through the neighborhood. ”
“I can never express enough thanks to life for letting me experience this crazy, dynamic, wonderful city from the perspective of this neighborhood, where my life has become richer than I could have ever imagined.”
“I’m thankful for our neighborhood where everything I need is just a walk away. Am especially thankful for our friendly neighbors, who are always willing to lend a hand and who have learned by now its just easier to stop and pet our dog while walking by our house (even if its the 10th time they’ve passed him that day!) ”
“I’m thankful for this pocket of small town life in the midst of the city that displays its uniqueness, quirkiness and friendliness and that brings out the best in life.”
