My UEI (Uncommon Economic Indicator)

About a year and a half ago, I counted thirty-something shoe stores on the stretch of 14th Street between 6th Ave. and University Place. Last week I counted nine.

I must say that nine seems to me more in keeping with society's real need for shoes than thirty-whatever.
