First sentence: AT first sight, Douglas might remind one of the Italian Street Corner Society of the 1930s in Chicago as it it described by Whyte (1993) - both have a diverse net of downtown hangouts, and in both you have quite a number of unemployed and semi-employed people that spend most or a lot of their time going from place to place and hanging around in various settings.
