Next Sunday, let's meet at the Waterfront smokestacks (between Costco and Movie Theater) so we can have a Homestead run.
Last Sunday, we took one of the usual Highland Park runs in reverse. It's funny how different things can look when in reverse. At coffee, various topics were discussed, including a "single serving friendship" made at Target, and my favorite quote: "I needed 3 potatoes and 2 green peppers, and I spent $197."
Across the street from Target, Eastside, is coming along, and the conversation veered toward the concept of microunits in apartments. This is actually one of the trends I'm following at work for my coverage of the multifamily market, so I was quite happy to share my nerdiness with the group. Basically, in Pittsburgh, a "microunit" is around 500 square feet, but in New York and Seattle, it's around 350 square feet, about the size of a hotel room. There are some great concepts out there, bringing back Murphy beds, built in furniture, etc. These compact units are embraced by Millennials, but quite frankly, tend toward male Millennials. But they only work in dynamic mixed use neighborhoods in apartment communities with lots of common areas/amenities.
