SnoWin in Inman 2015

I used to really despise the snow, but ever since moving to Inman Square, I hate it a little bit less. That's because of the Snow Parties and the way the neighborhood never shuts down!  Back when I lived on the South Shore big snow storms would really get to me because I would be trapped in my apartment with not much to do.  That's certainly not the case now!

Last night we watched various places in our neighborhood update their status on Facebook and Twitter.  When Trina's posted that two of their staff were going to walk in and open up the bar we knew that's where we needed to go.  They wouldn't be serving food so we began calling around to see where we could eat dinner.  Surprisingly, only East Coast Grille was serving dinner, and we aren't huge fans, so we ate our leftovers before heading over to Trina's.  When I called Ole the woman who answered the phone was genuinely concerned for me and asked if I had food to eat.  She kept apologizing that they wouldn't be open.  It was very sweet.

On the walk over to Trina's we stopped to take in how beautiful our neighborhood looked with all the snow. We watched people cross country ski down Cambridge Street.  We watched people stop and make snow angels in the snow covered plaza.






As we approached Trina's we started to get nervous because there were so many people out and about.  Would we be able to get a table?  Trina's was packed, but we were lucky enough to get a table in the dining room.  It's as if the dining room had been transformed into Inman Square's living room.  Lots of people had brought cards or games.  There was a really magical feeling in the room and everyone was so happy!  We reminisced about the crazy year we had had, starting with thinking we would have to move, to us buying our place, and to now enjoying this blizzard in our neighborhood!  We thanked one of the bartenders for coming in to open up for the neighborhood and he said it was his pleasure.  He lives local and he wanted to give back.  We certainly enjoyed it!



After a few hours we headed home but not before we did a quick blizzard photo shoot!



JO has some work to do on his car


My car still looks better than I expected

















Snowstorms are so much better in the city!
