Kate organized Printer's Row!
It was our 3rd anniversary!!!

You know what doesn't stop a 'Hoods?
Cold.

Impressions: I'll bet there are some RAD loft spaces here. Love the feel of the neighborhood. The old printing buildings are gorgeous. And dense. Not a lot of humans out on the street. But hard to judge if this was normal cause it was so freaking cold. There might be more street life on a nicer day. Not a TON of food or drink options. Feels real safe and clean and well-tended.
