I've always had the wanderlust bug, for as long as I could remember. I just love venturing out and discovering new places, old and new, well known or little holes in the wall. Realistically, I know that I can't travel out of town every weekend. My bank account doesn't exactly match up to my travel plans, but that's an okay thing. Because I know that I have not seen all that Vegas has to offer, just yet. There are plenty of cute little thrift stores and coffee shops left for me to fall in love with, because I fall in love with places fairly easily.
So that's exactly what I did. I went downtown with my friend, Courtney, and we made it our mission to discover places we hadn't been yet. I finally tried this coffee shop that I'd heard so much about, The Beat on the corner of Fremont and 6th. Their coffee was delicious and the good vibes in that place are purely contagious. We walked around a little longer, wandering into pricey boutiques and other places that caught our eye.
Next, we wandered through The Arts District, which I wish I'd have gone too sooner. We started out at The Funk House, on the corner of S. Casino Center Boulevard and W. Colorado Avenue, which is an awesome thrift store ran by the coolest lady, Cindy. It's filled with so many incredible things, from wooden chairs that looked like they were from the 1900's, to this beautiful typewriter that I completely fell in love with. So I'm now on the search for one. Next, we wandered around a few art galleries and then ended up at Retro Vegas, located on the corner of S. Main Street and E. California Avenue. My first thought when I walked in was how psychedelic this place was. (I was born in the wrong era, I know). I wanted to buy everything just to make my apartment look this cool. I could have spent hours there.
I left The Arts District already planning when I was going to go back and keep exploring, because I know there is still more for me to discover, and love in this city.
