We build community when we share our stories - whether they be a memory, an experience or just simply telling what we think is great about this place. While at various ArtPrize venues throughout the event, The Rapidian's Story Matters project asked several local citizens to share their stories. STORY MATTERS. is a story collecting project from The Rapidian and GRTV.

While down at ArtPrize visiting Propaganda Doughnuts, Amanda Lowey and Michele Day sat down in our story fort to talk about their recent conversations. Day has just moved here from San Francisco, and gives her perspective on the differences and similarities she sees between the two cities.
