Description: From Dave Loewenstein: Just about everyday for the last ten years I have walked a path from my apartment in East Lawrence to a coffeeshop downtown and then over to my studio around 9th & Connecticut. It is an unremarkable routine which was for a long time only a way of getting from here to there. Then, after years of being preoccupied with my destination and overlooking what was right in front of me, I started to see (and imagine) the places, spaces, and people along this route as settings and actors engaged in the performance of little one-act plays and flights of fancy. It was a curious new perspective as if I had discovered something hidden in plain sight. I looked closer, studying puddle reflections, following snowprint paths, glancing through window frames and tree branches, and peering down alleyways. Part cultural anthropologist, part documentarian, and part what-ifer, I began watching snippets of these dramas and comedies unfold, never knowing how they began or how they might end. More overseen than overheard, I gleaned what I could from a distance in written and drawn sketches, and then daydreamed up the rest in the studio, the results being these short stories, all of which take place in a ten-block area in and around downtown.
