Less tangible, but no less significant in establishing their reputation, is the reverberating nature of the histories, myths, and popular stories successively associated with site-engendered memories which shape and reshape the perceptions and responses of residents and citizens alike.

The complex interaction between a distinguished remembered past and a self-conscious present variously affects civic responsibility to respect that pasta as well as periodic material and imaginative responses to that obligation. |
