I heard that NPR bit too; I was half asleep at the time and wasn't
sure afterwards whether that was really on the radio or whether I
dreamed the whole thing.  Thanks for verifying that the model exists.
 
I remember a similar map of San Francisco in the Ferry Building
years ago, when it was still a sort of scruffy geology museum.
Does anyone else remember that map, or know what happened to it?
I hadn't thought of it for years....  (Now I wonder if I dreamed
that one too.  There are hazards to tuning your clock radio to
the news broadcast.  I was also dreaming that the back yard was
full of Bosnian Serbs, and the United Nations couldn't do anything
about it.)
 
Only slightly deranged after a long day at the byte mines....
