Wall Street, New York City

A Preview

"The corner of Wall Street and Water Street. Office towers, delivery trucks, and the East River one block behind you — close enough that the wind coming up this street still smells like it. There is nothing here to look at. This corner is where the American stock market was born, and there is not a plaque worth the walk."
