I’m not sure that plunging into economic depression should really be described as “great,” but so it goes on the Great Wall Street Crashes Walking Tour, showing visitors the finance industry’s landmarks—those known for better (the city’s first bank) and worse (the former headquarters of J.P. Morgan). But it’s not all doom and gloom on the trail:

“The great crashes of Wall Street are always followed by rebirth,” says one of the tour’s cofounders. “So we are not pessimistic.”

That might not be true this time round. This depression hasn’t even started yet, and its already been over a year. The subprime mess began last year in August. By the time this is over, there’s a possibility that Wall St may not even exist.
