Living Downtown

I finally decided that my Christmas present to Jenny was going to be some paintings and a collage print and a dinner. When I set about acquiring the things that I needed I started going to places downtown. I got the collage printed at Kinko's on Fountain Square and then I got it matted at Princes. I also acquired all the painting supplies that I used from Prince's as well. The flowers that I got for the dinner also came from the florist on court street. (An incredible flower shop that has a very unassuming exterior) The only things that came from places that weren't downtown was the food for the dinner which came from the Kroger's in Hyde Park. (it was a 2lb of beef tenderloin browned then broiled to medium served with roast shallots in a shallot sauce) I was just amazed that I could actually accomplish so much downtown. It actually is possible to live downtown. Incidentally, I will be attending a stone carving class at the art academy one block from my house using tools purchased from Suder's art store on Vine St.
