IIWho lives here

Read on the street, not on a spreadsheet.

Setting

Detached houses on their own lots make up about four out of five of the homes here. There is a scattering of townhouses and almost nothing in the way of apartment buildings.

Work

Managers outnumber every other kind of worker on these streets.

What they are hungry for

An hour that was not negotiated with anybody, since every hour in this week was.

A neighbor you might meetInvented, so no one is a case study
Curtis and Nell

Early forties, six years in, both working full time with children in school. Curtis works from the room over the garage most days, which means he is home constantly and reachable almost never.

IIIWhere it is crackingSigns, not proof of anything

You cannot know the reason from the sidewalk.

The plan that keeps moving
The light on at two in the morning
The activity a child dropped
The rest of
the guide

What to do this week, what to say, and why the news is good on this particular street.

The full guide carries the four first actions, three real conversation scenarios with the notes underneath each line, a story worth telling here, and the Gospel written into what this street is actually carrying. It is free, and it opens in the browser.
