When I was a kid we would drive by Coop City in the Bronx on the way to my grandparent's house. Since the urban landscape was so different from our sleepy hometown my brother and I were always captivated by the endless high rises of this massive city within another city. During one trip my father pointed out that the population of just one of these buildings most likely surpassed the population of our entire town. The world seemed to stop for a moment as I processed this information . . . My mind was blown.
