Sydney's soul

As I visit friends & family here in the States, I'm sometimes at a loss to explain why Aradhna and I are moving from Sydney to Melbourne next month. Yesterday's Sydney Morning Herald provided a mini-primer on the shortfalls of Australia's most iconic city. Its headline: All Arteries and No Pulse.

Bingo.

Sydney's lovely to behold, is surrounded by many wonderful neighborhoods and is home to an array of ethnicities ... but in a banquet hall of great cities, teeters on the stilettos of a drunken trophy wife.
