Are you willing to share a copy of the text file? I might be able to take a stab at it later today

Ran into Nadine Spence on my walk home while we were looking at The Great Grandmother Tree. Got to have a wonderful conversation about her work and what it means to her and the community. #newwest is such a fun little city.

Cookies, community and communal meeting space! It was a great kick off for the Uptown Plaza in #newwest

I love the amount of clear store fronts, trees, bike lanes and parking.
Some more sticky features to keep people around and socializing would be nice, but I suspect there was a square or plaza near by

They are playing baseball and I wish nothing but misery and heartbreak on their fan base.

I wish there was more seating! Almost every time I've tried to find a seat there people have been using all of them

That's pretty much how I feel. I had a hard time finding things I liked about L.A and normally I LOVE big cities

I totally forgot about Phoenix! The conference I was at was awesome, but the city itself left something to be desired.
Plam Desert, CA was another clunker of a city

What's the worst city you've ever visited?

Los Angeles. One of the most unpleasant places I've ever been.
Hayden, Idaho is a very close second

I’ll never go back to Myrtle Beach SC if somebody paid me

I'm usually WFH on Fridays so if you ever want company during lunch...
The next place on my list is Century House. I hear they have killer cinnamon buns.

I'm still on FB, but I didn't see any ads for it there. I got lucky that I knew one of the vendors and they told me about this a couple weeks ago. I can't wait to get a local paper again that can aggregate all this stuff.
