why we love our neighborhood reason #4


reason #4:
candy!

more specifically, powell's sweet shoppe!

if you like candy, this place is your dream come true.

it's a wonderland of every kind of candy imaginable.

everything.

they have locations in california, colorado, idaho, and oregon so there's a chance you have one nearby.

i'm pretty much addicted to sugar, so i spend a lot of time here.

levi loves their gelato, so he's usually happy to oblige.

best part - it's a beautiful 5 minute walk away.

i am so lucky.


p.s. they play willy wonka & the chocolate factory on a loop and give you a place to sit and watch it!!

  2. Another reason you should love your neighborhood is movies on the beach. I duno if you've had the chance to check it out or even knew about it but every Tues and Wed they show movies on a giant screen(although, the sound could be a little better). Tues are right by the Belmont pool and dog beach and Wed are down by Shoreline Village. It's FREE and a fun way to watch some classics-last night was Jurassic Park. I'm from LB myself and this is def one of the things I look forward to when summer comes around.

  5. We have one in my town and I've never been. I would probably just spend all of my money and end up sick! Maybe I'll find some cash and go in there one day with a budget.. you've tempted me!
