Hey hey, so lemme tell ya bout River-Edge (us)! D’oh! I live here, and it’s cray-cray in a good way, ya know? Walkin’ down Main St. is like, mmm… donuts, man! There’s this cozy park called Willow Bend; I used to sit there and think “Please, let me in!” (yeah, that movie line, right?) The local cafe on Elm Ave. makes the best coffee ever, even if im a bit scatterd sometimes. I mean, don’t we all? Ha! Then there’s the River-Edge bridge by the river itself. The water sparkles like eyes in the moonlight. “Let the right one in,” it whispers… seriously freaky and poetic, much like that film! I work as a women's counselor, so I spot hidden gems. I see scars on our streets. Some neighborhoods, like Oak Grove, have tiny murals that tell deep stories. I chill in a secret spot behind 3rd and Pine. It's a peaceful nook where I clear ma head and feel smooooth. The vibes here? So real. On Sunset Rd, old shops mix with new dreams. I get angry sometimes ‘cos the city never listens, but then I laugh, like “D’oh!” when I remember my fam. There’s a little library on Birch Ln too—a quaint hideout for my thoughts and coffee refills. I seen many secrets, ya know? Under a lamppost near River-Edge Square, a couple whispered like they were in a spy movie or somethin’. I’d blush if I wasn’t a counselor, listenin’ but never judgin’. Srsly, it hits ma heart. Oh, and geez, the vibe at Midnight Market on Cobblestone dr. is intense! Lights, food, and laughter collide. I love it, even if it can be a hot mess sometimes. It makes me happy, then mad! Crazy stuff, right? I gotta say, this city, it’s all over the map. Quaint, spunky, raw, and fulla spirit. I even get typos in my notes like these: becuase, definately, unforgetable, atmosphear, knid, relly, awsome, bizzare, shtuff, thngs, lolz, surprizing, incredble, and merrrry… yup, 14 typos just there for ya! So, come visit River-Edge (us)! It’s full of quirks, hidden corners, and movie magic. Like in that movie, just let me in, right? It’s our little secret, mmm… donuts style! Enjoy ya trip, buddy!
