Today we had our tour of Modern York, the current city. We spent a lot of time in the walk down to the walls waiting at cross-walks as cars sped by us on the inner ring roads that follow, on the southeast corner of the city, the path of the medieval moat. In town, where most people are on foot and consequently it's a lot quieter and less dangerous, we met up with Richard, our internship coordinator, and shopped. First we stopped at the one pound Shambles sandwich shop. Then phones 4 U where we learned that the I-phone 4 is "changing everything, again." Phones 4 U occupies 33 Coney Street in space that has probably housed 40 or 50 businesses over the past 1600 years. It would be interesting to map out the whole history of 33 Coney Street, but right now we're stuck in the present, trying to figure out what our phone numbers are.
