      • What are arcologies?
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                The city somewhat creaped me out to be honest. Everything is so darn spread out, even peachtree road lacked the hustle and bustle of a real city centre.

                Really, I was suffering a loss of orientation.

                          Yeah...the downtown sucks. You need to go to Chicago.
