BILL & MICHAEL (PAIR WALK)
We are Bill and Michael. We're married and live very near this walk. We did our walks side-by-side and were so surprised by how different our commentary was and how we noticed new things after living in this 'hood for nearly 30 years.

This Pair Walk can be done two ways:
1. Listen to either Bill or Michael (you can hear a bit of what the other person says and sometimes they chat).
2. You and a friend can each listen to one of the recordings as you walk along together.
