About Side Street

Side Street is an independent journal of short, careful stories about ordinary city life: the rooms, routes, counters, and corners that turn a neighborhood into a place people know.

Stories and names in this issue are fictional. Photographs are illustrative and do not depict the people or places in the stories.

Set in Literata, Space Grotesk, and IBM Plex Mono. All type and photography are used locally under open licenses.
