Remember That N.Y. Times Reporter in Montgomery?

 

The N.Y. Times selected Montgomery to be among the 52 places their reporter would go during  a year of traveling. 

In her final report, Montgomery gets mentioned just once:

 

Lesson No. 6: Still, talk to strangers

Oh, the stories of strangers that I could tell.

In Montgomery, there was Marcus, an Uber driver who’d grown up in what he described as “abject poverty,” who gave me an inspired lecture on his city’s complicated racial history. We picked up his neighbor, a nurse, from work, as he does every night, and finished with a feast at Applebee’s.

And that is ALL. The highlight of her trip to Montgomery was Uber and Applebees.

Then again, I suppose we should be glad Montgomery was chosen from all of the millions of places around the globe.

Note: Marcus got his 15 minutes.
