Author's Note: The fourth of my 'Snapshots' series. Each of these shorts will consist of exactly 1000 words. If a picture is worth 1000 words, how much picture is 1000 words worth? Having recently visited a certain city for the first time, I was a little inspired, and chose to condense that inspiration -and my general impressions- into a story. This story is fictitious, and not intended to resemble specific people or events. It is, however, a story about a real place, real people, and real events, and one I hope captures their essence. If any of you reading this happen to live there, no offense is intended, this is merely my impression. Take this story as you will.

Enjoy!

Big thanks to-

-for the idea, and the permission to use the concept. Go check out his 1000 word adventures too!

Thanks also goes as always to Guri for proofing.
