Take a familiar route with fresh eyes

This evergreen sample invites residents to notice the details that make a familiar street feel like home: a well-used shopfront, a patch of shade or a conversation across a threshold. It is a starting point for local storytelling, not a report of a recent event.

Let people tell their own stories

Ask before taking a portrait or recording a conversation. Explain where you hope to share it and respect a request to remain unnamed. A good neighbourhood story begins with listening.

Keep the details useful

When you submit a local observation, include the location and the date you visited. Separate what you saw from what you heard, and let us know which details still need checking.
