The neighbouring-city creator: Round the Bend, seated in South Bend — DUG at boundary, with a name flag

ROW 646 · LEG 97 ITEM 6 · BOUNDARY · NOVEMBER 2026

The valley's history creator sits across the river, and this article prints him at boundary size — his city owns him whole. Round the Bend Now and Then is the Michiana history project — on-location videos, historic-photo comparisons, and a podcast of the same name — that tells South Bend and Mishawaka history across social platforms and the podcast directories, hosted, on the show's own published record, by local-history storyteller Matt Emery, publishing as @roundthebend574. Its own directory description claims, as of the November 2026 read, “around one million views a week across all of our platforms” — printed here as the show's own dated claim, at that strength, not as an audited figure. The project covers Osceola ground among its valley subjects, which is coverage, not a seat: its seat, subject, and home build are South Bend's, and Osceola claims no part of it beyond this boundary print.

One flag rides with the article, printed openly: the audit register's pattern line for this row names a “Brandon Reed INF-1” in connection with the valley history creator. On the record read in this section, Reed is the South Bend animator of row #644 (Cartoon Connect; Lil Ron Ron), a different creator from Emery, and no source reached makes Reed the host of Round the Bend. The two names are therefore printed separately and never merged; if a sister build's INF-1 record documents a distinct Reed role, that record governs there, and this boundary article should be conformed to it at assembly — flagged here, not silently resolved. The sister-city debt runs both ways and is logged here as the row requires: South Bend's build owes Round the Bend whole, as its seated creator; this town owes nothing further, having printed the boundary and the flag. Closure: DUG at boundary — the neighbouring creator printed whole at boundary size from his own published record, with the Reed / Emery name conflict flagged for assembly, never harmonised.
