Bell-loud cups, too-small umbrellas, and puddles full of neon—Montrose, rinsed and honest.
Slug: montrose-in-the-rain

A telescope, two rules, one focused kiss. A matchbox note dares you to name a star that doesn’t exist—Providencia under electric starlight.

Plastic seats, small suns of panaderías, a transfer by the bayou. The future may not look your way; you ride until it trips over your name.
Marigold Route
Graphene nopal leaves, butterfly drones, and a grandmother-voiced AI. On Día de Muertos, Zapopan follows a marigold path to wake a sleeping river.
