Walking down the streets in SoHo…
In Yuki’s heart, SoHo is defined as a modern “Gallery” of art, history, and fashion. Walking down the street, SoHo is such a fabulous place for Yuki to embrace the art atmosphere that street artists passionately express their enthusiasm for arts.
While Yuki is exploring in SoHo, she notices there are more walls than windows and doors, and there are lots of cast-iron buildings in this area. The most important thing Yuki learned is that cast iron is exceptionally strong. Although it was first used in the 5th century BC, it wasn’t used in buildings until the Industrial Revolution. Most of the buildings were for manufacturing or department stores, built before electricity was invented. Yuki also notices that the street signs in SoHo are brown, not green like standard street signs. This is because a large section of SoHo is a historic district, designated by the Landmark Preservation Commission in 1973.
Yuki did some search online. The population in the SoHo area is divided evenly in half, there are 50% of males and 50% of females. There are about 69% of U.S. citizens live in SoHo, 16% are citizens were not born in the U.S., and 15% are not U.S. citizens.
