Canal Street

Story

Canal Street was a zoo. It looked like all those from lower Manhattan had gravitated a bit farther uptown. I overheard people saying that cell phones weren't working; I tried mine, and found that it too, was no good. Lines for pay phones were several people deep. I felt that I had to keep moving, and go to a location I knew well, where I felt comfortable.

"I'm a city girl," I thought to myself, "I know streets other than Canal Street!" I got off the main drag and headed up Mulberry Street through Little Italy, in search of a pay phone.
