No city, or place at all for that matter, will ever be perfectly safe. ]]> 2022-01-07 14:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bkennedy_brooks/9a4awydwh6hr76rs/wish/1980581438 643869 https://padlet.com/bkennedy_brooks/9a4awydwh6hr76rs/wish/1980590986 i think the author did a nice job using repetition in a way that didn’t feel like i was reading the same thing over and over again.
