Yeah, I think they are different - even now. And certainly from all the little different shops. It's like everyone is buying, and now one is making, or even shipping, and no one is selling, even - just ads and goods, and the humans swarm in their periphery belonging to seemingly unrelated economies.

Immigrants from all over Asia, many many more from China than before, Africa, Mexico, all over the place - and many more immigrants as a percentage of the NYC pop than in the 40s.
