Want to know more about the project? Here are some answers to frequently asked questions.
What's the big idea here?
I have this idea. There is a thing that I call city-based storytelling. It's somewhere in between a personal journal and a city guide. It's a series of personal stories where the city itself becomes a character in your story. SF Stories is basically my long love letter to San Francisco. What city do you love?
What is The City Stories Project?
It's a network of city-based storytelling sites, tying real people in real cities all over the world together with a thread of personal stories.
What is city-based storytelling?
It's halfway between a personal journal and a travel book. It's when you tell the stories of your life, and the city itself becomes a key character. It's a long, winding love story to the city you live in. It's personal, true stories about what it's like to be who you are, and live where you live.
Who makes this?
The first City Stories Site was San Francisco Stories by Derek Powazek. After it went up, people started asking Derek if he minded if they could start a similar site for their cities. Instead of discouraging it, he started the City Stories Project to encourage it.
All the sites in the network are owned and operated by volunteers - real people who really live in their cities. Their only obligation to the project is to keep telling their stories.
The City Stories mothership is now maintained by Tom Cosgrave, who is also responsible for Dublin Stories.
What's in store for the future?
This is all a Big Dream right now, built by volunteers and ordinary people with an extraordinary love of stories. If you believe that everyone has an story to tell, you're welcome to join us.
