Author: 1- Thursday April 4, 10pm, on the sidewalk near Popeye’s on Hempstead Tpke
2- Down the road, I can vaguely hear the thumping bass of the club nearby. Someone far away honks their horn.
3- The door into Popeye’s opens, momentarily allowing the chatter of the half-full restaurant to be heard on the street. The noise becomes muffled as the door closes with a small whoosh of air. There is a group of people walking on the sidewalk coming towards us. I can hear their footsteps echoing slightly on the concrete and a pair of girls is murmuring to eachother, but other than that, the group is silent.
4- Cars on the turnpike drive by quickly, sending gusts of air our way. The girls I am with chatter excitedly, someone is playing “I’m sexy and I know it” from their phone and the music is slightly tinny. Someone mentions they want to get some Popeye’s before continuing down the road, and this idea is met with a wave of approval.
5- The general sound level is at a medium high, especially due to the loud cars driving by, though the sound activity is closer to a medium low.
6- Pleasant
7- cars driving by, the chatter of the girls around me, and the song playing on the phone
