Summary: Which city is it in?


	I have been told that Pittsburgh is the model for the city
that the Hill Street Precinct is located in.  Up until recently,
most of the facts that have come out have been consistent.  

	1) It is a big Northeastern or North Central city.
	2) It is small enough to call its precincts by a name,
		not a number.
	3) It has a large minority population and urban decay.
	
	The names of the precincts seem to most closely identify
with Pittsburgh - Hill Street, The Heights, Midtown, and one other
name I forget but it implies a waterfront. 

	Unfortunately, in the last couple of episodes, they have
started referring to street names in the 100's.  That, I believe,
is true of only a very few places.
