First Event

So Ally and I decided to check out our new hood a bit after we threw down a chunk of change for the deposit. We walked south to the Giant and then on to the Convention Center, so not exactly Shaw. We passed the Old Dominion Brewhouse and I shouted "that's our bar!". It actually doesn't look to be the most wonderful place (more strip mall than hood), but I tried to get Ally to stop in for a drink, just to commemorate the event. She declined; kill joy. We did note a lot of other interesting places, like the Tiki Seafood.

Anyways, we noticed all these cool installations at the Convention Center; I just figured it was always there. It turns there's an exhibit in just for the weekend. Maybe I'll get out in advance of my move to start checking out my new hood.
