Walk every single street of one small district
“The main roads are done in an hour. It is the cul-de-sacs and closes, the ones there is never any reason to enter, that make it a whole day and show you where people actually live.”
The Recipe
- Pick a small district or postcode you can pick apart in a day, and get its street map.
- Get to one corner of it first thing.
- Walk every street of it, crossing each off as you go.
- Go up every dead end, close and turning circle and back out; the cul-de-sacs are the point, not a waste.
- Eat somewhere inside the district, wherever you have reached by midday.
- Keep at the small streets in the afternoon; the last uncrossed ones are always the most hidden.
- Walk the final unwalked street and stand at the point that completes the whole area.
- Look at the finished map, every street walked, and see what living there is actually like.
