Plot
Plot
There is an overarching plot but no clear single arc except that of the life-cycle of a neighbourhood, its deterioration and renewal. In the form of chronicles, most tales only last few pages, however there are multiple core characters whose stories are spread throughout. The chronicles tell about life, problems, and solutions about inter-ethnic and other socioeconomic relations of residents of Dropsie Avenue in New York City. One common plot revolves around 'old' residents bemoaning the arrival of 'newer' residents and frictions caused by it.
