Night-walking

[stormdog]

There aren't really any good places near my apartment to take a nice night-time walk. I'll probably just go walk around the block, and that's a serviceable route. But I wish there was a street that didn't feel quite so closed-down and lonely.

I'd love to have a late-night coffee-shop kind of place (which is funny to say, given that I don't drink coffee) where I can go out in the evening to sit and read, maybe with some hot cocoa. My neighborhood is gentrifying a bit, but it doesn't seem to have that sort of thing in it, and Westcott, where most of the grad students live and which definitely *does*, is most of two miles away. Close by bike, but not close enough for spur-of-the moment travel.
