Grand Canyon West, Arizona, USA

What is amazing about Guano Point is how close you can get to the edge of the canyon. Look: no fence, no railing! It would different were it National Park property, but it's not. Grand Canyon West belongs to the Hualupai Indians. [2022]

Grand Canyon West, Arizona, USA

The Sky Walk allows visitors to float like eagles above the Grand Canyon, to look down 3500 feet through the glass platform, and to help provide employment and income for the Hualupai Indian Nation. It opened in 2007. [2022]

Grand Canyon West, Arizona, USA

The land and the eagle are sacred to the Hualapai tribe. Do you see the eagle? His wings are spread, and he's ready to swoop to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, which the Hualapai once farmed? Today, Grand Canyon West is still their land, and they invite you to enjoy it with them with a hearty gamyu. [2022]

Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Anchor Cities of Megalopolis: Boston. Boston is the oldest of Megalopolis' anchor cities. It was founded in 1630 as a haven for English Puritans. In fact, all great cities exert ecclesiastical leadership. Trinity Episcopal is just one of 700 churches in Boston. Here, congregants gather outside for the benediction after one of many Sunday services. [2021]

New York, New York, USA

Anchor Cities of Megalopolis: New York. It's recognized as a "jacks of all trades" around the world. Get it? If Megalopolis had a capital, New York would be it. Why? Because it's the city all other cities look up to. Only London is on par. To you, NYC sends hugs (O) and kisses (X). Again, get it? [2022]

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

 

Anchor Cities of Megalopolis: Philadelphia. Game Board Park has to play second fiddle to Love Park across the street: a reminder that Philadelphia has had to play second fiddle to New York City since 1800. But that is what gives Megalopolis such stature: competition among so many large, influential cities. What board game does this piece represent? [2021]

Baltimore, Maryland, USA

Anchor Cities of Megalopolis: Baltimore. Fifty million people (one out of six American) live in Megalopolis. Its dominance of the U.S. economy was established centuries ago, and it has held. In fact, wrote Jean Gottmann, in no other place in the world are there so many large cities so close to each other. It's a constellation as unique as that tall ship. Get it? [2021]
