Rose had replied to a number of our questions prior to our arrival. We knew she wouldn't be there when we arrived. But she was leaving as we pulled up. She got out of her car to greet us, show us the house, and go over a comprehensive list of restaurants and public transportation nearby.
We took the streetcar she recommended, which was a perfect way to begin our exploration of the city. We also took her advice on local restaurants, all of which were wonderful.
