I mean, they're really not that close together, like you start at this market area. There's like a Post Office, a sandwich shop called claudettes, who also has a really good carrot cake. But the real star of that show is the chocolate chip cookie. But whatever this isn't about claudettes, or the market it's about the bluff walk, which is awesome. I highly...
