Clearly still a day-to-day necessity, and considering both its age and constant wear-and-tear, impressively functional. But what if, like the cobblestones of DUMBO, it could be replaced with a better-smelling, cleaner, quieter version that still looked more-or-less like the old one? Possibly something fancy and electric? And with all the money a bustling legal weed trade would presumably add to the local economy, this would maybe even be affordable. Yes, this all seems possible, even likely. What a bright future this city has ahead of it.
