Little Italy (running from Canal to Bleeker and then Lafayette and the Bowery) is a community, more than anything else. Rich in Italian blood, Little Italy is the place of change.
You need something, someone will help you with it; however, be expected to be in debt to them, nothing comes free.
You can go to the community center (corner of Grand and Mott) or the church (Elizabeth,) if you like, but everything a newsgirl needs can be found right here on Marion street. Except a nice boy, but those are on Grand as well.
Now, Shane, while nowhere near Spot Conlon's lever— and don't tell him I said that, does have control over all of Little Italy. That includes the our house on Marion, right here. So, if you tell me or Alessandra something, we are obligated to tell Shane.
Little Italy is a nice place, full of friendly people. Most speak Italian with bits of English, so a lot of the newsboys hock their headlines in both languages.
However, in the past few years, organized crime has been spreading, with little Italy at the center of it. They call themselves the mob, and they're getting more dangerous everyday. So watch out if you see something bad happen, or you may end up missing, as well. They don't discriminate because you're a lady, capisci?
That being said, that's why the lodging house has such strict rules. Need to keep everyone safe and all.
Other than that, most of the newsgirls in Little Italy will be Italian, though if you are not, it's okay. You will have some difficulty with the girls until you prove yourself, and you might also have a harder time selling because the people want to buy from their kin; so you might want to turn up your charm.
