Display a printable version Hidden City Archives A city is defined not by its buildings, by its history, or even by its citizens, but by the connections between all those elements. Buildings are connected by roads, people are connected by relationships, buildings and people are connected by history. It's these ties that bring a city together during times of crisis, tear it apart in decadence and corruption, or simply cause it to wither and die. Those who understand this see the hidden holy shrines; the places where connections new and old weave through the city. They know that moored steamboats and disused railroad tracks are just as important as freeway interchanges and telephone switches. These people can see the true city, feels its pulse, hear its desires, and bask in its full glory. In the middle of a valley, right smack where two large interstate highways collide, above two major rivers, sits one rather odd city: Sacramento, California. Live here long enough and you'll start to see what strange things can happen. For most of us, Sacramento serves as a reminder that all people are connected. You might run into your old college roommate from back in Chicago, neither of you knowing the other moved to Sacramento; or a co-worker from years back who still remembers you and has an opening just as your last employer went out of business. Sometimes, the connection isn't even about you -- it's about the city using you to remind someone else that they cannot escape their fellow man. For a select few, though, Sacramento does more than just bring people together -- it remakes them. One man is about to discover this as he is thrust into the strange, unseen world upon which cities are built. If you are truly faithful, the City will provide. 01 - Good Friday Photo by Jeremy Tidwell, Copyright 2005 |
