Often viewed as one of the more prominent symbols of American capitalism and wealth, Wall Street stands today as much a reminder of days past as it does a practical application. The Stock Exchange Market still operates daily with live trade, although trade could be done nearly anywhere through the internet, while nearly all of the big businesses that made Wall Street home have now headed to other parts of the city.
Despite its decline in functionality, Wall Street is still an important and fascinating symbol of American economy. From the Stock Exchange Market to "Charging Bull", a 7,000 pound bronze statue, Wall Street can still offer a number of exciting sights that will be sure to paint past pictures of the social-business structure that thrived during the pinnacle of Wall Street.
