Benicia Under Wraps

Way back in the beginning of time, they thought the little town between River and Bay would become the great City of the West. But the businessmen went down to San Francisco and the politicians went up to Sacramento, and Benicia has been a nice and small if occasionally busy little place ever since.

But even though it was the Capitol for only a few months, they do preserve its remains.


They have other ways of protecting other buildings.


Evidently so they can crumble in dignity.

Failed cities are something that really interests me. I had not heard of Benicia before.
