PURE PLACE REDUX

Decided to restore the Pure Place section in the sidebar 'cause I really appreciate those in-depth visits to vividly realized localities. It's like living there for a few moments now and then, taking a stroll with a neighbor, maybe, or listening to a resident chat over a cup of coffee in the local best place for coffee. Much deeper and truer experience than a blocked and scripted documentary, if you could find one thus specific. I've added a link for NCFocus, Anna's Nevada City blog, and one for a new and very interesting Vancouver/Bowen Island blog by designer Maria Bantjes. For the latter, thanks to Chris of Bowen Island Journal, who is showing some great writing chops there.
