Now that we're almost two full months into 2010, some of us are wondering about the status of sculptor Michael Heizer's monumental, 200-acre work City, out in the Nevada desert. (Not terribly far, we note, from Rachel, NV and other large, mysterious desert installations.) Rumor had it that City was likely to be finished by the end of last year, but it's been radio silence since early 2009, when the de facto cancellation of the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste disposal facility turned out to be good news for Heizer and City.  

One can find City on Google Maps, but you probably don't want to consider driving out there--not only is it difficult to find, but Heizer takes a dim view of trespassing.  More background here and here.
