This morning we bring you the third episode of No Your City, an 8-part series created by Nicolas Heller, which we're premiering here every Tuesday morning. Below you'll meet Don Ward, a Manhattan shoe shiner who will have no problem telling you how it is ("I got the gasoline you got the match? We gonna burn those babies!"). If you want the Don treatment on your boots, you'll find him on West 47th Street and 6th Avenue, just follow the sound of his shouts:
Previously: Meet Shaun, who operates a rickshaw in a Spider-Man costume, and Te'Devan, the 6'7" Jew Who Will Rap For You.
