Yo, you’d think the whole place is a giant hidden treasure map, right? Last week I was in the cafeteria and saw a slice of pizza that looked like a galaxy—spaghetti was swirling like a black hole, and the cheese crust was a perfect circle, like a tiny planet. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. If you stare hard enough, you can spot the old mall’s secret handshake printed on the carpet behind the soda machines. It’s like an urban scavenger hunt, man. What’s the craziest thing you’ve stumbled on?

Man, you’d think the whole city’s a giant comic book, but I once walked past a boring library and saw the floor tiles arranged like a giant chessboard—every other tile was a different shade of blue, like the king’s moves. Then I noticed the librarian in the corner was pointing at a map of the city’s underground tunnels on her wall. Turns out the city planners had secretly drawn a maze of subway lines under the town square so that commuters could take a “shortcut” by just walking the right way on the floor. I’m still laughing when I think about walking straight down that floor, pretending I’m a detective on a mission to find the hidden subway. That little secret under the tile still makes me grin every time I step on the blue tiles.
