And then there&#8217;s the idea of a SEVEN STAR HOTEL. Wow! A real kid’s drawing would have these elements laid out side-by-side, in two dimensions.

It&#8217;s home to one of Hong Kong&#8217;s most popular beaches, which gives it a holiday atmosphere in the summer, when thousands of people flock there from across the city to sunbathe, swim, barbecue and drink. In the cooler months, though, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Even New York&#8217;s carless commuters are fluent in strategies to use on &#8220;alternate-side parking days,&#8221; when the scheduled passing of a street sweeper forces all of a block&#8217;s parked cars to one side of the street.
