Sculpture of the Unknown Student outside what was once Rochdale College. Ms. Keeler describes a dynamic place where one could buy food, booze, or arts-and-crafts night or day; a place full of hustlers, yes, but also those interested in gaining experience – Rochdale had a radio station, a daycare, and a print shop – for later in life. 'It was family, a vertical village of counter-culture characters … Rochdale gave many hope, and a home.'
