Urbanites

Urbanites embody everyday city dwellers in 1890s San Francisco. They populate the bustling streets alongside dock workers and immigrants, forming a cosmopolitan backdrop to urban life. Quick to notice and respond to anomalies in their environment, they reflect the era's blend of routine activity and instinctive wariness toward outsiders. Their presence underscores the vibrant, diverse social fabric of the period, where ordinary residents observe and react to the unfamiliar without direct intervention.
