Earlier this week a second resident joined Lake Pointe. She will be spending a year at the hospital. Since we had just met we decided it would be fun to get together during the week and explore a little bit of Dallas together. We decided to check out Deep Ellum in East Dallas. I haven’t spent much time exploring Dallas yet, so I was excited to have the chance to get out.
Deep Ellum is considered a neighborhood made up of arts and entertainment venues. I hadn’t heard of the neighborhood before planning to go out. We walked around the area for awhile looking for a place we wanted to go. There are quite a few restaurants and other venues there.
Although I enjoyed my first year at Baylor, I missed living near a city. I’m not currently living in the city (I’m in suburbia!), I am interested in continuing to explore Dallas and seeing if there is any area in the city where I an see myself longer term. In addition to having several streets of bars and restaurants, the area is also near a large farmers market which I hope to check out sometime soon. My college was near a large farmers market, which I often visited on weekends and is something that I’ve missed. Waco has a farmers market as well, which I have enjoyed, but it’s not as big the farmers markets I was accustomed to in Florida!
