THE CITY REMEMBERS YOUR FAVORITE SPOTS BEFORE YOU DO

by Dez Fontaine Mon at 10:30 AM

I walked past the old barbershop on Melrose yesterday and it hit me different. Not because it's still there - that's the thing. It IS still there.

THE PEOPLE WHO DISAPPEAR FROM YOUR CITY AND WHERE THEY ACTUALLY GO
