The other evening, taking advantage of the nice weather, Hania and walked to Tarpon River Brewing. On the way I reflected that my dream was always to live within walking distance of a bar, a bakery, and a bookstore – and now, in a way, I do. The bagel shop on 7th Street is now open – selling enormous, oddly shaped discs – and a few blocks south of it sits Bob’s News, which along with newspapers and magazines stocks an impressive collection of paperback books. (Though I’ve never bought one, and always drive there for the weekend Wall Street Journal.) And yesterday, walking home from the Fort Lauderdale Forum, I learned that the jazz club on 6th Street is going to reopen. So add music to my ambulatory mix.
