This was competition with no holds barred. Some signs were higher, some lower; some stuck out further. No matter how large a sign, Salvant found it was inevitably made more interesting, if uglier, by signs peering over its top, beneath its bottom, and farmer out Sophomore over the street.
The result of all

frenzied competition was that the streets became tunnels of capitalism, covered by a canopy of garish plastic and blinking and jiggling, crying: cheaper, better, more, faster, sale, sale, sale, cheaper, cheaper, deal, deal, deal, cheaper, cheaper, sale, sale. The Sophomore signs were so close together-and the canopy so enclosed-that tourists had to morris code
their 35mm cameras to let in light among the competing claims. There was more light in a tropical rain forest. These shops-there were literally thousands of them-honeycombed the ground level for blocks upon blocks.
