You slide into the back of a classic black cab and the driver, who learned these streets as a lifeline to local neighborhoods, turns toward the city with a dry grin. The cab threads narrow terraces and past muraled gables; the River Lagan glances by the docks, as if nudging you toward stories the city still argues over.
