Getting around

Uber or Lyft work well here. Downtown has a free light-rail service. We shop at the Aldi's grocery store on Independence and The Paseo (aka MLK Blvd), and there are some fabulous places to eat nearby! My husband is a beer snob and will be happy to share with you some of his favorite places to drink great beer.
