We’re not chasing the skyline. Curb reports from pavement level — the late library, the market bench, the repair counter that actually fixes things. Eight stories, filed this fortnight, about the city that doesn’t make the postcard.
Each card is a broadside pasted at the kiosk. Tap “Read” to unfold the full sheet. Save the ones to return to.

CURB is not a guide to “hidden gems.” It’s a record of the ordinary: the route you’ve taken a hundred times, the wall that finally got a bench, the sign that survived three shopfronts. We file what we notice, so you might notice more.

Every CURB story starts with a walk. No pitches from PRs, no “best of” lists. Writers choose a corner, a counter, a bench — and stay long enough to notice what changes.
CURB is published fortnightly by a collective of writers and neighbours. No office — we meet at the library that stays open after dark (Story 01). Printed on recycled newsprint at Parkside Press. Set in DM Serif Display and DM Sans, with IBM Plex Mono for the ledger. All photographs are illustrative — the people and places in the stories are filed by words, not lenses.
