To accompany this week’s special issue, in which we spent at least 15 minutes with 15 people to watch in 2015, we shot 15 seconds worth of video with each person for a short compilation. We ask our interviewees to share their favorites local coffee shops, the best place for pizza and more. (Due to some technical difficulties, a few of the interviews didn’t make it into the video — hope you won’t hold that against us!)
