Description:The City Desk (http://thecitydesk.net) is a regularly-updated collection of stories and news items about a city of indeterminate size in an indeterminate location, based upon real events, urban legends or out-and-out lies, written by a group of talented contributors from New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles and many other cities across the country. Or, as we like to put it, "Fictional urbanism." Urban reportage and history without pesky "facts"
