    Is that THE Talledaga? As in NASCAR Talledaga? I'm sure you took a detour to see the track? Ian will be so envious.

Two women at the bus stop at 103rd and 1st Ave. in front of the projects. "I didn't grow up here. No. I moved here in '66. I lived at 429. Then we moved to 446 and then 419, where I am am now.
