Downtowners, meet Under the Alexandria, a family of three who migrated from Silverlake, found a loft, and set up a blog. The main voice is Mom:
There have been a few things to adjust to. Having the car a block away is a pain in the ass when you have the baby and groceries and other shit to haul around. And the neighborhood is definitely still on the gritty side (though a helluva lot better than it used to be). Seeing drug dealers on 5th did not make me a happy mama.So far, they experienced the Shooting at the Hayward, consider LA Live as "Marina del Rey combined with Universal City Walk": "Wow. Talk about missing the point of being downtown." And in the true spirit of the third bloggiest neighborhood, they want to create a Downtown Family Support group. The blog name comes from the original garage the family used for parking. They found a new lot to use, but the blogspot name will stay the same.
Wow Mom, do you kiss your kid with that potty mouth?
