For the first six months of marriage, we were newlyweds with no place to call home. Being on the road and living with people was a wonderful experience, but challenging all the same. Over Easter weekend, we moved into the Eaton Place, a historic hotel that has been transformed into an apartment complex.
We truly love having our own space, and being downtown in the middle of everything. We have eaten breakfast at Old Mill Tasty Freeze, sipped chai at Meade's Corner, and I have a regular circuit that includes walking past the Lord's Diner and the new Open Door resource center. Not to mention that we are directly across the street from my favorite thrift store!
Below are a few pictures of the view from our place. The first shows our proximity Intrust Bank Arena.
A park they used to call "homeless park" is right below us; there are still occasionally a few people who don't have many other places to go that sit on the benches during the day, and they keep things real for my perspective, for sure. However, because of the great landscaping work that has been done as part of the revitalization of Old Town, there are photographers that come almost every single day with high school seniors, newly engaged couples, and kiddos for photography sessions. This is the view directly out the window of our apartment...beautiful, huh?
Now called Eaton Place, corner of St. Francis and Douglas.
Home sweet home.
