You meet under the low hum of neighborhood traffic at the Gnome Craft Pub and the street seems to lean in — brick facades, maples that have watched a century of comings and goings, and sidewalks that remember boot soles from another era. The guide leads you down tree‑lined residential blocks where porch steps and bay windows keep the city’s stories, and you begin to trace the contours of a young F.
