A Preview

"Waverly Place. The Street of Painted Balconies. Look up — red, green, gold, those beautiful curved eaves. If you look at the top of the building at number one twenty-five, that's the Tin How Temple, the oldest Chinese temple in the United States. Still operating. Still burning incense. Been here since eighteen fifty-two."
