CVS, Smithfield St., Downtown. Lunchtime.
A Large Black Woman with a very large hairstyle is picking through the drink coolers and talking on her cellphone. A couple of Art Institute kids squeeze by to get to the snack aisle:

Large Black Woman: Yeah, my hair be testifyin’ today.
Art Institute Kid: [whispering loudly to a friend] Can I get a witness?
