The Story of Polly & Bob
Polly
is a single mother in Berlin Friedrichshain. She loves to know her sweety in good hands when she is singing Friday nights. She met her new boy friend on Polly & Bob’s neighborhood brunch, Peter. Peter just lives 3 blocks away. She organizes her Mother-Monday-meet-up and found a capoeira group in the neighborhood on Polly & Bob. She is a singer in a Friday night club band.
Bob
(36), single, born in Pittsburg /Pennsylvania. Bob is new to Berlin and so he is to her. He likes climbing and hiking. He found his flat on Polly&Bob, and got his furniture for small money and partly for free from some neighbors. Bob always wanted to do design, that’s what he is doing now in Berlin. Found some friends and Deutschlenders on Polly & Bob.
Polly & Bob
are two neighbors, that found out: it is worth it to take the time. Take the time to share it. Take the time to help. Take the time to play. Take the time to do shit together. Fun in the neighborhood. Everything around you. Everyone around you. Make sense, enrich, and share. Make a Difference.
They say: don’t walk by like the other day.
