San Diego Unseen: An Urban Portrait
The hierarchy of the senses is a matter of great debate: Is the nose more important to taste than the tongue? Is listening to a song with your eyes closed more rewarding than watching a film on mute? Can a deaf, dumb and blind kid really play a mean pinball? Struggling with these questions, we played Mr. Potato-head, trying one sensory organ at a time and following each to the best things about San Diego. We see on Page 17, smell on Page 20, touch on Page 24, taste on Page 29 and hear on Page 37. Oh, and on Page 40, you tell us what your senses are telling you—in our annual Readers Poll. Congratulations to all the good-looking, sweet-smelling, touchy-feely, mouth-watering and killer-sounding winners.
