Free Advice Is Just Around the Corner
When Daniel Franklin, a political science professor from Atlanta, needed career advancement advice, be didn’t turn to colleagues, therapists or even his mom.
He went to the Advice Ladies.
Three thirty something New York women, advertising freelancers by day, have turned themselves into Saturday afternoon street-comer oracles, they pull up lawn chairs and a table on a lower Manhattan street corner and dish out free advice to passersby. They’ve claimed the corner of West Broadway and Broome Street in Soho as their own for the fast several months.

"Good advice", says Franklin.
In the seventh paragraph we read that the Advice Ladies won’t be strangers for long because .
