The Death of Districts

Spent much of yesterday in London's de facto medical district, around Harley Street. I like that I can visit several doctors, even hospitals and test labs, all in the same area. Seems to foster collegiality and more efficiency for the practices, too. In my trips to Manhattan, it seems like the old districts are going away. I do cling to the idea of a specific place to get shoes, or a suit, or photo equipment. Hopefully some things will survive progress and not all face annihilative displacement.
