You are walking along a wide residential street paved with concrete.  It
is an older road, perhaps laid down when this section of the city was first
built.  There are large cracks in the concrete and in some places weeds are
growing in the cracks.  When it rains the drops hit the surface and make a
loud sound.  
A minotaur citizen is rushing about doing some daily work.
A human citizen is walking down the streets of town here.
