[Story collected at Neighborhood Office Hours, Glenwood Grove - North Iris.]
"I live near Iris and Folsom, so I love to walk straight
toward the mountains. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, my husband and I do a
big loop where we go up to 4th or 5th and down to Pearl
Street. We stop at Spruce Confections for chai, and then we wander past the
Boulderado, where the doormen always give the dog a bone. We also love to walk
to the Rayback Collective and to the comic book store, Time Warp. When the
weather is nice, I like to bike to the Main Library, too. I love walking
because I like the slow pace. I like to walk with my dog, looking at people’s yards
and noticing things like the tulips coming up, or the stork signs when someone has
had a baby. I find walking very head clearing. I’m a cancer patient, so my
physical therapist loves the fact that I like to walk, too. And I’m not just
walking, I’m dancing swing!"
