“Hi! I’m glad we ran into each other. I’m Jonathan, I just moved in down the street.”
Oh, nice to meet you! I’m Danielle. How was the move-in?
“Not bad, actually, although I’m definitely still unpacking boxes. I don’t think my garage will be usable for a few months yet, haha.”
Well, I moved in a year ago and mine still isn’t, so there’s no pressure!
“Oh good, haha. I’ve been trying to explore the area a little bit and find some good restaurants, but I was wondering if you had any recommendations? Now that I know you’ve been here so long and all!”
Oh, definitely. If you like Thai food, there’s a great place on Bryant you can try, I’ve been going there a lot recently. And there’s a good burger place in the strip mall that’s been there forever. There are a lot of pizza places around too, they’re all pretty good. Oh, and I just tried this new sushi restaurant that just opened up downtown! That was probably a lot of information at once, haha.
“No, that’s perfect, that’s just what I need, haha. I’m just trying to explore all over the place and get myself settled as soon as possible.”
That’s great. There’s actually a lot to do around here, too.
“Oh, awesome. Like what?”
There are a few hiking trails I’ve been loving recently, and the community pool is a great place to hang out too.
“That sounds cool. Do you like outdoorsy stuff?”
Definitely. I try to go camping once every few months and I’ve been hiking every weekend.
“Nice. I think I’m going to try to get more active, too.”
Well, if you ever want to try one of the hikes with me, let me know!
“Yeah, definitely. Thanks again!”
