See you on the streets. And remember...
“Walkers are 'practitioners of the city,' for the city is made to be walked. A city is a language, a repository of possibilities, and walking is the act of speaking that language, of selecting from those possibilities.”
~ Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking
