My New York Walkathon “Excuse me madam, you need help?’ I saw an old man wearing rags, carrying a sandwich in one hand and his phone in the other. Dressed in a blue collared shirt, neatly buttoned and belted up, he looked nothing close to a street urchin. It was my first day in the most wanted city of the United States of America-New York. I thanked him for his help, and decided to figure out the route of the subway (tube trains) as they call it there. It took me time, to get myself accustomed…

Everyone has a weak pleasure, something that latches onto their tastes buds filling their mouths with a heavenly, mouthwatering feeling, a pleasure that some people cannot overcome leaving very negative life impacting consequences, like…

neglected, and stained. As she hung up the crisp white linins, she thought about the trip she took to the grocery store the previous day. The trip was like a woody nightshade vine, bittersweet. It all started off well. She stepped out of her big Oldsmobile in a neatly pressed flowery dress and walked swiftly to the front doors of the supermarket with her toddler son. She saw a big sign in the front that read " Whites Only" she often asked her husband "私は白の資格がありますか？Watashi wa shiro no shikaku…

The store layout and adjacencies of a smaller storefront is crucial. Having less space means less items to sell, less employees and less open hours. This results in a decreased chance of making a connection with the customer as they are walking through the aisles for their weekly shopping, or rushing in for a quick item on their way back from work. Smaller storefronts are perfect for quick items or short shopping lists since the lines at the cash registers should be shorter. These customers…
