Downtown New Haven

Carla new to the metropolitan sat on a tangerine color and slightly cushioned seat of the New Haven's Free Downtown Business District Bus. She wore dark polyester cotton blend thin pin striped slacks, a beige color satiny long sleeve button up blouse, and a nice knitted two large front button cardigan sweater.

Her hair is a medium to long assortment of sun exposure light and medium blonde. Neat and pulled up to the highest portion of her head into a secure bun. Three hairpins with a pearl each pinned around to keep any fine hairs from escaping.

She exited the bus with a slight cool early morning spring breeze and an aroma of espresso and bakery at a cafe across the wide downtown sidewalk. Hesitant only to remind herself of what she was doing there.

She looked at her thin silvered wrist watch as she considered the morning cafe, it is best to be a little early than a minute late. Especially on the first day and when you have not yet been hired.

Carla walked half way down the block to one of the tallest towers that part of central downtown New Haven. Its giant vaulted windows glistened into a seamless sharp point. Four long wide steps up to a platform and up four more long and wide steps. To a single revolving door and the two optional regular doors one on each side.

Carla entertained and pushed her way through the circular door to the main entrance to the vast lobby. A large sign out on the lobby's main floor with a big black arrow pointed in the direction of, The New Haven's Bank.

She walked past the bank sign and to an open five tier level balconies. At the top a cafeteria type setting. Where tables and chairs arranged to look down the balcony.

A long counter desk with already lit computer screens. A personal had just arrived that morning and situated herself to direct anyone anywhere

About anything that concerned the tower and included the entire square block. Behind the personal a large directory listed with business names and each location. Green foliage among a fancy indoors urban style waterfall towards the other backside.

The attendant directed a smile at Carla. Carla returned the silent gesture back to the attendant as she walked past the desk to the twelve rows of elevators. A loud ding bell, a chime that sounded both high and low in pitch. An elevator had lightened up and it's doors opened.

As the doors began to close a woman shouted, hold the elevator please.

The sounds of high heels on the shiny polished marble floor, as each step clicked, and picked up pace. Carla was unaware of the hold the elevator button, she
