The Projects
Bailey and Lex were proud of the fact their neighborhood was in the projects They were pioneers, venturing into a dangerous frontier to make this part of the city livable again. Whenever they entertained houseguests--an infrequent occurrence since most of their friends were too scared to visit this part of town--they always mentioned the sacrifices they were making for the greater good.
Projects was a good name. Something like an experiment. Something only the bravest couples dared participate in.
Most of the time, Bailey and Lex endured their hardships stoically. But sometimes they missed having a Starbucks nearby.
