a story in every sketchbook

"There are eight million stories in The Naked City," the narrator sums up. "This has been one of them."
An immortal movie line pops in my head, as I leaf through pages teeming with nameless New Yorkers. I can hear the muted backdrop: heels click, the rumble of a train, and some sporadic chatter. It could be the scene of a classic 1948 film noir, or more relevant - a city commute. My point: these trendy nomads - teleported to La La Land with their iPods, iPhones, or e-book readers - are not without their own compelling stories. Look for them.
