> Straight-line streets tell a different story than crooked streets.  The
narrow, curved streets in the vicinity of the New York Stock Exchange
humanize one of the most soul-less places on the planet.  The streets mark
the sites of the old dirt paths that veered around trees, ponds and
hillocks, formed in colonial and pre-colonial days.  Even the huge
skyscrapers that line them can't take away the traces of the preterite feet
that made those paths.
