来自伯克利的报告。COVID-19时代的城市素描

[Guest post by Cathy McAuliffe in Berkeley, Calif.] Walking became my activity of choice during the lockdown in California. I have lived in my Berkeley neighborhood for almost 40 years and have done plenty of walking here, but having the “forced” opportunity and time to really explore the streets turned into a pleasure. It was […]
