Curious people live in a bigger world than everybody else, even in the same town.

Two people can walk the same street and be in different sized places. The difference is how many questions they are carrying. Ask what that building used to be, why the bus route bends there, and the street gains rooms. Ignore all of it and the same street is a corridor between two points.

Pick one thing you have walked past a hundred times and find out something about it. Ask one real question of someone you only ever small talk with, then stay quiet long enough for the answer. Boredom with a place is often just a shortage of questions.
