These were routines, not adventures. Or so I thought. In the eyes of city newcomers, and on the pages of Soapbox, I see the power in revisiting the familiar with a fresh perspective. I see the promise in a publication in which even natives can discover something new about their city every week. It's great to have a Soapbox. Let the next adventure begin.
