Quoted Text
Cars drive by as pedestrians are leaving and entering stores and restaurants. We notice two men walking down the sidewalk. MAN 1, glasses, soft-faced, brown suit, dignified hat, is slowing down while looking around confused. MAN 2, wiseguy, too big for his britches, stern, blue suit, stops to look back at Man 1.

Something like:
Cars drive by as PEDESTRIANS exit and enter stores and restaurants.
Two men stroll down the sidewalk. MAN 1, glasses, soft-faced, brown suit, dignified hat, slows down while looking around confused.
MAN 2, wiseguy, too big for his britches, stern, blue suit, stops to look back at Man 1.
