Recently I’ve been reading Invisible Cities, a book that presents ideas about all of the little traits and characteristics that combine together to give a city its identity.
It got my friend and me thinking about some of the hidden quirks we’ve noticed around Columbus - and we came to the realization that a vast number of bars south of 5th Ave offer free popcorn, while almost no bars north of 5th do?!?
There is a Great Popcorn Divide in my town and I had no idea until now. Even though this knowledge doesn’t amount to much, it still feels like a fun piece of information that contributes to the identity and experience of living here.
I’m also really curious to know if there are some “invisible cities” that you all have noticed around where you live

how did they end up there, where were they before, do they like it, do they want to go somewhere else, what it's like over there, are the drivers awful (drivers are awful everywhere and that's always fun to bitch about) is it walkable etc. There's so much to a city and people always have niche recs or fun stories so it's fun to ask

These are those unplanned, worn-in trails that come into existence from consistent use over time. I like how they represent a record of the way humans and animals interact with their environment, with some being wide and well travelled while others are overgrown and don’t see that much use; each one has a story! I think they’re a cool example of the ways in which we unintentionally shape nature while it shapes us right back. So take that desire path and push back against infrastructure imposed upon you (if you want).
I also just think Desire Path is a beautiful combination of words.
