I was on jury duty earlier this year, and when I'm on jury duty, I always try to make it to 10th Street Italian. Passed these by and was struck by the knowledge that these blocks have probably survived intact here for about 130+ years. Just a guesstimate. This City is always telling you her secrets, if you're willing to listen.
