Next Wave is all systems go. And, it's not really the kind of wave that dumped you and your boogie board at Point Leo before dumping seaweed in your pants. It's more like a well-travelled Tsunami, flooding Brunswick coin laundries.
The Agents of Proximity have set up shop in laundromat and they're exhibiting the travel stories of locals. Read about how John got lost with Aviva and discovered a giant cactus. Or how Mem and Liz cycled about before settling down with some apple tobacco. The coin laundry-meets-travel agency tells the stories of Brunswick locals, revealing that even when thousands of people live in one area, they share the space in curious ways.
This agency won't tempt you into forking out thousands of dollars to be poor in another country, nor are the shelves lined with books about exotic beaches, written by people who may or may not know anything about such beaches. But it will teach you about Brunswick folk; just like alley cats, lurking about, rubbing their sweat glands against poles and telling their friends about day-to-day goings-on.
