Speaking of soapboxes

The New York Times, September 15, page C-1, “A Frantic Weekend That Wall Street Won’t Forget,” paragraph 5: “…Greenwich Avenue, which usually bustles on Sundays, was eerily quiet.”

Stamford Advocate, September 15, page 1, “Go Speed Racers: Soap box derby hits the Avenue,” lead sentence: “The town’s first soapbox derby in 23 years drew hundreds of fans to Greenwich Avenue on Sunday to watch 24 budding racers speed their handmade cars from Starbucks to Richards.”
