Things We Forget

  • Restaurant and Bar

    The neighborhood restaurant and bar’s corner booth that feels like a hug.

  • Water Tower

    I love the old water tower overlook. It is abandoned and beautiful.

  • Bliss

    I go to the park’s hammock grove. When I am there, I feel pure bliss.

  • Poetry

    The indie bookstore’s poetry corner. I like to write there.

  • Lakeshore

    The city lakeshore, where the geese are aggressive and confident.

  • More Thrift

    My favorite spot is the alley thrift rack where everything is $5.

  • Seasonal

    My favorite place in the city is the neighborhood coffee shop with seasonal flavors.

  • Pondering Spot

    My favorite spot in the city is the riverside boulders where I sit and think too much.

  • Café

    My favorite place is the café that’s filled with artwork, but with no WiFi. While I am there, I find peace.

  • Forgiveness

    My favorite place is the labyrinth path behind the cathedral. I do not attend mass – the Catholic Church has committed unforgivable atrocities – there’s a reason they promote forgiveness.
