IIWho lives here

Read on the street, not on a spreadsheet.

Setting

The housing here is mixed in a way that makes the street genuinely hard to read at a single glance from outside.

Work

The work people here do and the work available around them are not the same thing.

What they are hungry for

For somebody to work out how long they have actually been here before deciding who they are.

A neighbor you might meetInvented, so no one is a case study
Cal

Thirty-four, eighteen months in the building, living alone and assumed to be permanent by everybody who has not asked.

IIIWhere it is crackingSigns, not proof of anything

You cannot know the reason from the sidewalk.

The provisional home that stayed
The door answered in daytime
Years on the street and no name
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.
