Living downtown

Downtown living is more than just having a home close to urban destinations, it's a place to experience new things and meet very, very interesting people.

Take the elderly man who sit on a park bench on 2nd Ave every day. That's right, from sun up to sun down, this guy makes the trek from the Westward Ho to sit, smoke cigarettes and entertain passerby.

Or another guy who works at the Taco Bell at McDowell and 3rd St and the AMC in the AZ Center. Funniest, most sarcastic and best worker I've ever seen. He makes fun of customers, ridicules dumb employees and makes what is normally mundane quite enjoyable.

There's also the homeless people on cell phones (WTF is up with that? how do they pay their bill? who calls them?), the crazy people who like my bikes (two stolen so far) and the multitude of personalities (some from the same person) at the Circle K at 1st Ave and Fillmore.

Welcome to downtown living, Phoenix style.

I love Kenny (the guy that works at Taco Bell)! He has the craziest stories. One time, he told us that he played sand volleyball at the Playboy Mansion. Sure, Kenny....
