Sidewalk Cafe

As we began to leave the residential sound scape, we entered a new, more commercial section of town full of people, traffic, and other commotion. One place in particular had an interesting variety of auditory interaction; a sidewalk cafe where friends, dates, and businessmen alike were gathered to talk and eat. Walking through the Cafe with sound recording equipment, we knew it was only a matter of time before we sparked a few questions. Tempting as it was to say we were either terrorists or ghost hunters, my friend kindly obliged with information about our class. Though, just as the conversation began I continued to walk through the market and the speech became overwhelmed by the other sounds competing for dominance in this complex arena.
