Turns out Pete had a guest on his tour yesterday that had a small world connection. The guest went to high school in New York with Pete’s Uncle, which is the same high school as Pete’s Mom.

Also the guests brother was in a high school band with Pete’s uncle.

Did you get all of that? From Long Island to Vancouver. It pays to talk to people, you never know if there’s a connection.

It’s week and we are proud to be the official walking tour partners once again. This year we are offering three different routes in Mt. Pleasant:

The North Route: this combines elements of last years Hidden Gems route, some new stuff, and parts of various tours we have run over the years.

The Central Route: this is essentially our Foundations route that we have run every year, with a focus on 7.5 Alley, Main Alley, and some fun deviations.

The South Route: based around parts of our 2020 and 2022 Hidden Gems routes, along with pieces that we have never shown before.

Book your spot as they’re filling up and space is limited! Link in bio.
