NEW! Hi. Is there an introduction thread I'm missing?

alexdeebee

Hi neighbors,

I moved into a bldg on EP and Bedford about a month ago. Have a new job and have been busy busy busy so I'm still exploring. I love my new place and the neighborhood seems awesome, so far!

Hope everyone's having a great weekend.

Consider this your introduction thread. Welcome! What do you need to know about the area?

Oh, and whatever MHA says about your block: the opposite

Is true.

scarlett

Um hello! Are those alpacas in your avatar?

MOD

Ha!! I thought of you instantly Scarlett when I saw the alpacas!

Welcome Alex!

I hope you like it here! See you on the boards!

Oh man scarlett, I am unintentionally biting yr steez! I'm such a noob.

Mainly my topic of the moment is finding a good dog walker. I'm from D.C. originally and should be going down in the next couple weeks to pick up Aaliyah Tinydancer, my awesome pup.

Here she is in her Halloween costume.

Anyway, does anyone have any leads?

scarlett

Srsly! But unless you're a rageful pill popping drunk party girl, my steez is safe.

Plus my girl Whatchuwant lives close to you so she'll take you down if need be. (And she might have dog walking ideas)

Welcome to the neighborhood. As we (Whynot is my husband) live nearby, we will doubtlessly meet in the park soon. (See Whynot's avatar for our dog's photo.) We don't have a walker, but I'll ask around.

A couple of dog advice items. Off-leash hours 9pm to 9am, when the parks are open, is observed in both Mount Prospect Park and Prospect Park. Mount Prospect Park (between the museum and the library) has a very laid back dog scene in the mornings. You can get lots of advice about walkers there.

Scarlett,

Alexdeebee has TWO alpacas! I think your avatar needs to have three now.

scarlett

Mrs. Whynot what are you doing on here? You know when you post Whynot posts a million percent more. Argh! And I will not get into competition over alpacas! But it may be time for a pic from this year's crop of chef named babies. Now get off and hide the computer from Whynot please!!!

mrs whynot

Scarlett,

Whynot posts a million percent more than anyone (perhaps except for Carnivore). New alpaca pics though would be great.

Mummm "chef named babies:"

I vote Kung Pow, vindaloo, and alpaca asada [-X

Welcome to the nabe, Alex!

PM me and I can send you the info of walkers I know. I've also been known to walk others in a pinch along with my mutt Maisy. She's cute, your (hot) dog- is she socialized?
