SOLSC March 7: Street Life

            New York is a pedestrian city — even when the wind is gusting to 25 mph. Just a little of what I saw today.

1. Three men walking  eight medium-small-size dogs of varying shades of white, black, and gray

2. A young man on a scooter with a dog on a leash

3. A young man walking two large brown dogs.

4. A woman walking a much smaller dog, who on seeing the big brown dogs barked fiercely

5. At least three people with walkers braving the wind; two were accompanied by a caregiver

6. A (presumably) very angry four-year-old girl with mother, child crying insistently. Possibly father was walking alongside with stroller. When they got to the top of the subway steps, mom and child went down together without even looking at the man, who folded up the stroller and followed them. (I wonder what that story was about.)

6. Fewer people than usual on the main drag of Broadway, though enough to cause me to keep my mask up.

I’m participating in the 16th annual Slice of Life Challenge over at Two Writing Teachers. This is day 7 of the 31-day challenge.  It’s not too late to make space for daily writing in a community that is encouraging, enthusiastic, and eager to read what you have to slice about.  Join in!

    1. it is indeed. So many people can seem overwhelming, but I like to wonder what all their individual stories are. I hope you've visited.
