Remembered and celebrated

Martlet.ca – Auden Cody Neuman

A man with salt-and-pepper hair and a black jacket pauses outside the lit-up windows of the Cornerstone Café. It’s after eight on a Thursday night in the final days of October. I see him peer through the glass, then watch as he reads the signs posted on the door: “Café Closed,” “TransAction Meeting here!” Lights from the Fernwood Inn and the Belfry Theater illuminate this junction of Fernwood square. The clatter-crash of a kitchen next door drifts in through the walls.
