A road less traveled

Hengshan Road (In response to Beidang Road)

Languishing luxury, one mile of former grandeur
Cement-paved wide standard street named Hengshang
Dropping sycamores, dusty air struggling bowling alley
Swept plane trees, hopeful placards novelty gospel house
Signs still sideways, pinyin words
People's language tic-toc sounds, cotton voice
This area truly was the French concession
But could it be that I am in New Jersey?
