Fantastisk, tyst, privat, helt ny

I am completely bicultural: an American-born father of Polish parents, and a Mexican mother. Have lived in the U.S. east coast, San Francisco, Paris, and the rest of the time right here in MC. Live a 15-minute walk from the apartment. Worked in journalism covering Mexico's politics, economy, social issues for foreign publications, such as TIME magazine in the 80s when it was still a somewhat in-depth analytical magazine. Also worked for The Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, WGBH radio in Boston, among others. For years now have worked as a simultaneous conference interpreter and translator.

Have lived in Condesa for 36 years. It's been amazing to see its transformation, from a purely residential neighborhood to one bustling with shops, restaurants, bars. I love the fact I can forget the car and walk to get anything I need: excellent coffee, French and Spanish cheese, artisanal bread, gourmet goodies, wine, ice cream, the best pastry shop, flowers. Plus, we also have a cobbler, sewing repairs shop , hardware stores, ATMs, pet shops. I love its park, Parque Mexico, a lush green oasis in this city. I would not consider living anywhere else in town.
