Who is the person in the community that can reliably be found at a specific location (or event)? The community member who is always cleaning up trash from the side of the road while waving to passing traffic. The dog walker who appears at the same time of day. The teacher has been a fixture in the third-grade classroom for generations.

Our local legends are easy to take for granted because they show up reliably and relentlessly. We tend to notice them even more when they are absent. How might we celebrate and engage with them now instead of once a void appears?
