God's eye view
By: Chris EiseleJuly 23, 2008
Looking down from on high, it becomes obvious.
The City is a looker, measuring a sultry 39-31-38 by a leggy 119-49-19, and lays with arms thrown joyously upward over a head tilting slightly back in exultation. The legs slip a demure toe into the water on one side while spreading wide to the mountains on the other, a burlesque invite to tourists. Long ago, she swallowed the outlaying collections of homes like so many slices of cake, and while her top and thighs may be stacked, her center still is a lean, river-belted girdle, shoving the dense population up or down as chance and good breeding allows.
