Local Loves: 51 Park

With Troy having returned to California as of yesterday afternoon after a brief stay with me, and myself having taken a few days off of work this week to begin holiday preparations and start getting my Christmas décor out of storage, it seemed like the perfect time to share what has become one of my […]
