The city is inviting to all people from all walks of life, it says “Come in, grab a seat and while you’re at it observe all the beauty that is around you.” It comes as no surprise that when walking through the complex streets and alley ways of the city you are under constant surveillance from all; whether it be the advertisement models on the billboards or the people on the second floor of the TGIFriday’s
