I tweaked the blog title and color scheme this week. Tuck is the two-year-old medium mystery mix dog I share with my best friend/roommate. After graduating college in May 2008 in northern Alabama, we packed up and moved to St. Louis in late August 2008. Tuck hasn't been to the Arch much since then, but he does spend a lot of time in our neighborhood.
The Tiffany neighborhood is roughly bordered by Chouteau Avenue, Grand Boulevard, 39th Street, and I-44 in south St. Louis City, one of the city's smallest residential neighborhoods. In September 2009, Roommate Megan and I moved two blocks in Tiffany, and our awareness of the criminal activity here skyrocketed. We are both active in the neighborhood association and are hopeful that our frequent 911 calls (along with other factors) will have some effect on the intermittent gunfire that seems to plague our new street.
After a year, I'm starting to feel comfortable calling this city home and hopefully I'll be sharing more of my experiences and perspective as a relative newcomer. Either way, I changed the blog's name to be a more specific reflection of my geography. That I shifted to red during this festive month is purely fortuitous.
