Welcome!
This weekly blog, titled “Greeting, Stranger”, will document and distribute the stories of strangers we meet on public transit and in public spaces. In the last week, have you spoken with a friendly or thought-provoking stranger on a bus, train, subway or airplane? Did they share a fascinating story?
Check back every Sunday night for new stories. The tales you read will be as fair and balanced as the writers and editors can make them. Just keep in mind that the impressions we form of the friendly strangers we meet are subjective by nature. Quotations are not exact, but they are in spirit.
If you feel inspired to learn more about the stranger sitting next to you on the subway, please, by all means, feel free to register as a contributor and tell us about your experience. The more off-the-wall and spontaneous your story is, the better. We’re particularly interested in stories that cross the racial, political and socioeconomic divide — stories that, in their retelling, foster an enhanced sense of humanity, purpose, and unity.
