Strangers hugging in the streets, spontaneous hockey games and dance parties erupting on Granville, conversation on the bus, eye contact on the sidewalks, and lighter burdens all around.

Yesterday I set out, notebook in hand, and asked over 1,000 people in the thick crowds around Granville and Robson: “Where are you from?”
Their answers pleased me.
I guess this is what “pounding the pavement” means.
