Athens [Shannon]

I'm very happy in Athens. The heavy buildings that take up a whole block are strangely plain, scuffed marble with old shutters and look like something out of a Ben Katchor comic, past their prime and of mysterious use to begin with. SOme are pocked with cannon shot holes. We wake up to mopeds and roosters. There are these signs in Greek letters everywhere that we can't even sound out, mysterious, adding to the Katchor effect.
