And how long has this been going on? This isn't new? You've done this for a while, I gather?

You know what? They've actually been at it now for about two years.

And then just recently this summer, they got together with the town to see if they could get an outdoor and indoor track.

And the town partnered with them.

And so far now, we've got an outdoor track down at the Exploits Nordic Ski Club.

And it's been open all summer.

And every time we go down there, we see people down there from, like I said, kids to adults and families and grandparents with their grandkids.

Now, tell us the timing details and what, if anything, people need for the day.

okay so my thing told me like two weeks ago expect like in the second trimester that this will happen I we've been like pretty much the same all throughout pregnancy but like In the last couple weeks, I've felt, like, much better.

Like, very, very connected to him.

But I feel like we've always kept a very solid cadence all throughout marriage just because...

I don't know how it is for you guys, but like my brain feels the safest when I'm really connected with my husband.

I know that he is like in his most masculine when he's really connected to me.

And like, biblically speaking, I know that it's absolutely integral.

You know what I'm saying?

That seemed like perfect place to just kind of start hearing people.

Yeah, I think it's quite obvious that there's some very serious issues affecting the neighborhood right now.

You know, we have a really difficult time right now in the neighborhood with our main street, which is really our economic engine has really been sputtering.

And we're seeing a lot of buildings not only become vacant, but eventually some of them have actually been burned to the ground.

And we've lost buildings like the Sutherland Hotel.

And that puts buildings like the Craig Block at risk, which is right next to it, which is just sort of sitting alone.

And that has a very rich tradition of being utilized by the Black community of the North End, which has a rich tradition here as well.

Yeah, it was mostly like what is, you know, just kind of watching how city council interacts as a as a unit, like on these meetings and what it would what's kind of the vibe of your ideal city council, like for as a citizen, as a councillor.

Hi, I'm Natalie.

I work in the nonprofit world and I'm an avid hiker.

I'm in my 40s and I've experienced depression since about the end of middle school, early high school years, but I didn't get officially diagnosed until my mid-20s.

In the last decade, I also started to experience significant insomnia, which worsened a lot in the last year and a half after a difficult breakup.

And I've had trouble finding effective medication for my depression and insomnia.

So I utilize a combination of strategies and have participated in psychotherapy on and off for the past two decades.
