Field Notes
The Geography of Small Talk
Mar 25, 2014 | 12-part series
Katherine Wells
How you start a conversation with a stranger depends on where you live. We survey the diverse geography of American greetings—from Honolulu to Hays, Kansas, from Anchorage to Appleton, Wisconsin, from New Orleans to New York.
