Away We Go
Away We Go is a perfect movie for thirty-somethings looking forward to having children — sort of an older, more mature Garden State.

We just got back from the latest Pixar offering and as we predicted, it didn’t disappoint. Up is a well-written, emotional and funny film that surprisingly rivals anything in the Pixar catalog.

I’ve driven through Urban Reserve, it’s very oddly placed and the prices are insane. Move it somewhere around the M-Streets and cut the prices by 75% and the development would be a gold mine.
