The city’s seawalls hum with memory as you step off the footbridge and onto King Street, the Atlantic breeze nudging your collar like a conspirator. Street lamps flicker over Spanish-era stone and the tour guide’s voice leans low — you move from the bayfront past a mini golf sign toward narrow lanes where real people once met violent ends. The walk is intimate: paved sidewalks, short blocks, and the occasional bench for a quieter telling.
