Here's something you can't do easily in the burbs: have a movie theater birthday party without using any cars. One of Jada's closest friends had a birthday party this past weekend and it involved watching Madagascar 3 at the local movie theater. Even better for the environment, Jada and all the other party attendees were picked up on foot at their doorstep, walked to the theater, taken out to pizza afterwards, and then escorted home.
Nice for us that our house is within walking distance of so many of Jada's friends, as well as of a nice movie theater and other retail amenities. For those of you who moved to the burbs and assume it must be hard to raise kids in the city, here's one example of how it's actually quite easy.
