One comment I have about "the City" map. "The City" in reference doesn't
refer just to New York City, but distinctly to Manhattan (mostly
coterminous with New York County, but not fully). I've lived in the
boroughs of Queens and Bronx, so the other four boroughs are not
considered part of "the City."

"My cello has been transported on mules, camels, trucks, rowboats,
droshkie, bicycles, gondolas, jeeps, a submarine off Italy, subways,
trams, sleds, junks, and on a stretcher in Amalfi. But by far the most
racking experience of all is when, in full dress, I must transport the
cello in my own hands across the stage each time I have to play."
