- Role: backdrop
- In the book: The girls dread Times Square and the porn theatres of Eighth Avenue and Forty-Second Street, where girls like them are drawn in by pimps and drugs and found dead; the fear terrifies them even more than losing Angela.
- Why it matters: A place they never visit in the book but that shapes their dread.
