The Street Called Straight IS Tot
difficult TO find, for Il runs across
the city from the east gate 10 the
nazaars and is the main street OF
Damascus.
N the old days II was much more
progressing than il is now. II was
wider. and its importance was dem
onstrated BY grand colonnade that
separated il into sections for pedes-
TRANS and vehicles Since then il has
shrunk and deteriorated in grandeur.
though IL has sturdily clung to its
important position as the first street
in the city.
II is one OF the few wide streets
in a eiey where the popular concep-
ton OF n street is a lane so narrow
that the bay windows OF its houses on
opposite sides touch Il has for CEN
turtles been called Straight Il might
more accurately be called Crooked,
for it bends frequently, but consider
ing the nature OF adjacent streets

name becomes appropriate by con-

a pageant OF romantic eastern char
acters is always passing on the Street
Called Straight Shoppers and shop
