We recognize the need for apartment complexes to use their signage to attract new tenants ("If you lived here, you'd be home by now!"), but there's something refreshing – and quintessentially Austin – about a complex that encourages us all to stop and smell the roses. "Enjoy being" reads the sign at the West Annie Apartments. Not "Enjoy being here," just "Enjoy being." It's a philosophical directive worth taking, and it cheers us every time we happen on it, making us appreciate all the more the tree-lined streets of the Bouldin Creek neighborhood, this city, its people, and our place in it.
