CityLab wants your stories of when fellow city-dwellers saved the day.
The city is full of people you just see around, Terry Pratchett wrote. But sometimes, an unfamiliar face is the one you need most. The new year is an invitation to reflect on the past and resolve to do better, and CityLab is gathering readers' tales of when strangers saved the day.
I think about the woman who yanked me and my bike out of the one-way street when I fell the other night. Was a car coming right behind me? I'm not sure; I was too stunned to tell. It's my fortune to wonder, thanks to her snap reaction from the sidewalk. Are you OK?
