Unfortunately for Market Street, it is “not an avenue or a boulevard that sweeps through arches of triumph” (Kingston, 161). It is not as remarkable a sight as is believed. It is an ordinary street, there is nothing about it that makes it outstanding. While Ah Sing travels down the street, he notes that all along it there are “tangles of cables on the ground and in the air, open manholes, construction for years” (Kingston, 161). This is not what someone expects to see of in a city so highly regarded as San Francisco is. If San Francisco were as lovely a city as it desires to be, it would not have these objects to tarnish the sight of it. The image is destroyed with all of these
