Walk the street near you that you've somehow never walked

There's a street five minutes from your door you have never once walked down — you know its mouth, you've passed it a hundred times, and you couldn't name one thing on it. Today you walk it end to end, both sides, and find out what's actually there. Something is: a shop you've never heard of, an odd house, a tree older than the block, a cat that clearly runs the place. Come back able to say what.
