      - note the covered entry, part of the Eatons store, and how it takes up a majority of the sidewalk, if not the whole part of it. This is a kind of inclusiveness, a kind of blurring of private & public space, with mercantile/ business spaces that are private infringing, via awnings and other "refuge-creating" tricks, on the "public" spaces, thus drawing the public into their interiors, allowing penetration.
      With the automobile, penetration was frowned upon. (Petting only...?) In a car, you glide past, you don't "enter"...
