Exploring Media

Last week I finished up my first graduate class. I am so glad I decided to take it early - having one less thing to worry about this semester takes a lot of stress off my shoulders. I had a paper to complete and submitted it on Sunday. After it was finished I decided to walk through the town I live in and explore. Here is what I found:





Apparently I live in Tree City :)















After walking around, it is clear why Media is "Tree City"
Every street has trees - its absolutely gorgeous






The town also has a lot of churches - they all look different and are so beautiful. 






I ate at this diner with Mom, and it was amazing. I'll never get over how good the comfort food is on the East Coast




Confession: I am addicted to Dunkin Donuts. If I want it, I will walk - it helps me justify my consumption of coffee and glazed munchkins (which are donut holes - munchkins is a much cuter word)
 










 The beginning of State Street. This is the main downtown area that is one block from my apartment (my cross street is at the opposite end)






Quincy's - one of the more eclectic shops on the street. It has very funky and unique decorations for the home and garden. 





The restaurant at the end of the street is called House, and it is AMAZING! (As you can see, their brunch hours get crowded, but it is worth the wait to get in). I had a buffalo chicken panini with gorgonzola cheese and caramelized onions which was divine! (And only $8!! If this place existed in San Francisco it would easily be $12 and crowded with Hipsters) 











Planned Parenthood on State Street! Might try and volunteer or get a job here over the summer






This place is on my "next place to eat" list. The hot dog choices sound delicious - can't wait for Oktober fest








More trees - love the green!







A row of houses - the architecture here is beautiful






I found a park tucked away from the main street





I had a strong desire to explore, but I also watch a lot of Zombie movies and my imagination got the better of me so I decided to observe from a "safe" distance. 







 A cute apartment complex - heading back up State Steet






Another church on State Steet






Businesses and houses







The fanciest bank building I have ever seen





A bar/restaurant that I will need to check out






Although this type of pub seems much more appealing to me....





A cute wine bistro - very crowded for Sunday brunch and mimosas. 






Media - Everybody's Hometown :)





Trader Joes!







Made friends with a dog






A sushi bar






The trolly that runs through State street





I don't think they ever take down Santa and his reindeer







The church by my apartment
I am so happy I live here - its a great little town.


Love and miss you all!
