Live, work, create. You may have seen or heard these three words in relation to Garden City. There’s a neighborhood there that was dubbed the Surel Mitchell Live-Work-Create District, spanning 32nd to 37th Streets on either side of Chinden. It’s a neighborhood of many things – longtime residents in small houses, mobile homes, trailers; big […]
By Sonya Feibert Kuhn “Who brought envelopes?” It’s a cloudy, warm Thursday night in early spring, and calligraphy artist and teacher Dave Kuwahara is checking on homework.

After years of freelance writing for other people, I wanted to write stories in my own voice and about things I actually cared about.
