The lantern light bounces off ironwork and Spanish moss as a small group gathers at the Pulaski Monument in Monterey Square. Guides step forward in a controlled cadence, voices low, steering attention from the Mercer-Williams House toward narrow alleys where streetlamps pool like indifferent witnesses. The city’s brick squares fold the past into the present; pavement seems to hold onto stories the way the river keeps its tide marks.
