Trying to figure out a way to make a post about "circle", I suddenly remembered "circus" -
shich to me used to mean a big tent covering a big round track around which bears rode
motorcycles, and in the center wirewalkers and trapeze artists performed up high, and
lots of animals performed down below. So when I was young I wished I lived in London,
because there was a circus there every day - Picadilly Circus.
I found a lot of pictures, but none that gave a clear idea of the whole. And I had no
luck finding history of it. Maybe dxb would be willing to tell us about that.

Hope you don't have to jump through too many hoops, dxb.
