In Little Italy, there is a lot of stuff going on, the rush of trains, planes, automobiles, construction cranes, and condo dwellers.

The leftover pieces of industry lure the artists, and the small retail boutiques spread. Buildings might be saved, because we all crave history and find beauty in old things.

Meanwhile, rapid development drives the Little Italy Arts District to the track. But, the railroad might offer additional street frontage. It is gritty, but call it home. Off the beaten track!
