And yet, so unlike its namesake on Earth, Manehatten defied convention, with a circular street pattern rather than a grid based one. For a reason Handy could not fathom, this city of industry and labour, at some point in its founding, had been constructed around a central point on its coast. The streets radiated outwards in straight lines, and these were connected by concentric semi-circles that began at the coast, went around through each street, and all the way until it hit the coast again. These radiating streets were known locally as ‘high roads.’ This was due to the proclivity of some of them to rise up off of the ground, suspended on great pillars or brick walls in places as they went over the low roads, including the central 'Golden Mile' that bore the train. These high roads led to bustling streets and a secondary level to the city, bearing up bright gardens and parks that dotted the city scape with hanging vines, flowers, and garlands that reached all the way down to the streets below.
