Original Revolutionary War era structures blend in with Art Deco marble and more modern steel and black glass, the area one of the first settled in the New World. Bankers and lawyers and brokers in expensive clothes stand on line in Starbucks with new media Internet slackers, everyone isolated by their cell phones, the sidewalks crowded with all the colors of the world. Fruit stands and coffee wagons and hotdog vendors cater to the richest folks on earth, while Clarence hustles quarters for a buttered roll. The streets tremble with traffic above and the subways roaring below, the lines all converging as they go in and out of Brooklyn. Once the market bell rings the crowds start to head home, though the limos and black cars line the streets, waiting for their late-night charges.
Clarence knows all the drivers.
