Eastside vs. Westside

Now that we've got the Venderia operating on both sides of the Willamette River, we can use sales data to illustrate the differences between Eastside and Westsiders.

SEX:  the Westside buys more condoms, the Eastside buys more pregnancy tests.

LITERACY: the Eastside buys more books. "The Hobbit" is hot on both sides of the river, but weird mystical, desert peyote rantings are only embraced on the Eastside.

GROOMING: the Westside buys more chapstick, the Eastside buys more sewing kits

GROOVES: the Eastside buys more cassette tapes and more 45s.  Are Eastsiders really more into music, or have Westsiders simply abandoned mostly-obsolete music mediums?

CORRESPONDENCE:  across the city, Ursula Barton's postcards are universally popular.  They bridge the divide.
