...Morning, 7:30 a.m. E.T. With polls opening at 6:30 a.m., a line had already spilled out into the parking lot at 6:00.

Two large photographic prints are mounted in silvery frames on the wall. An white orchid plant, stems blooming, rests by the window. A Louis Vuitton suitcase has been transformed into a coffee table. A pair of wooden screens rest against the wall. Shemtov added these screens to mask “prison-like” feel of Leverett’s singles...
