Night Streets

Chinatown, NY
This is one of the lit streets of Chinatown. It's littered with small shops as people try to make a living. Very much unlike the Macy's at 34th that occupies the entire block! But even if a Walmart moved in and bought up the entire block, would the Chinatown folks shop in it? Or would they adhere to their community, support their friends' shops, and continue in their old ways?
