In July 2012, I took my son to visit the GAR museum on the second floor of the Old Town House. It was a particularly warm day and the door leading out to the fire escape was propped open to let in whatever breeze might come. I took a quick peak out there and was thrilled with the view.

This time it was St Michaels and Steve Clay accompanied me. We made it to the steeple only to find two barriers in the way – chicken wire and thick wooden louvres on each window.
