"So I said to her - Elaine! You GOTTA SEE THE BABY! But she just won't listen to me."

"Someone needs to sit her down for some real talk."

"Oh she won't stop hanging out with those three losers."

"What do you expect!"

"Anyway, Rachel. You GOTTA SEE THE BABY!"

The lady who waved? At you? At a bus? Who? (Wish I'd found your drawing).

She didn't stop. But she called out just before crossing the street. I looked up, and she said - "Hey I love your drawings."

I waved back. I suspect she's seen me on Reddit before, or on TikTok. :)

The "out for a walk" couple . . . specifically, the bearded gentleman with the hat. What kind of hat is that?

I believe it was a flat cap, the style that was common among the working classes in England at the turn of the 20th century. Or so Peaky Blinders informs me!

They walked slowly, arms barely moving, engaged in low conversation. The man on the left chewed his lip and nodded. Then they parted ways at the light.

Lady with the cane, walking up and down the street?

I first saw her at the art store. I was looking at fountain pens and so was she. Then, when I sat on the bench, she walked past me with a small bag of stationary from the store. I saw her a third time when she came back to the street intersection where I was drawing. She stood under the traffic light for a moment, then turned right and walked away. This was when I finally drew her.

I imagine she may be a tourist, or a person from just out of town visiting this beautiful part of the city and the art supply stores here.
