	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Closed city
		A closed city (town) is a city/town with travel and residency restrictions in the former Soviet Union, or in a CIS country.
		There are two major categories of closed cities: closed because of the presence of sensitive military or nuclear industry and border cities (in fact, whole border areas) closed for security reasons (military locations, radar stations, etc.).
		Provision was made for the material well-being of the city by repairs on the walls and the aqueducts, and by the establishment of agricultural colonies (domus cultœ) for the cultivation of the wide domains surrounding the city.

	CNS - The Closed Nuclear Cities: Federal Control vs. Local and Regional Influences
		The life and interests of Russia's closed cities (ZATOs, using the Russian acronym) revolve around nuclear facilities, as the cities themselves were created for the sole purpose of supporting these facilities and the families of their employees.
		Another major change is the introduction of elected executive and legislative authorities in closed cities and the subsequent delineation of powers between the facilities and the cities.
		The level of cooperation or confrontation between the facility and city varies from city to city, with Zarechnyy (Penza-19) being the extreme case: there, the director complained that he was not even part of the discussion and approval process for the city's economic and social development program in 2001.

	UNHCR - Moscow: Open Season, Closed City
		City officials perceive Moscow to be flooded with illegal immigrants, refugees, internally displaced and other forced migrants from other parts of Russia and from the CIS, who may travel and reside in Russia without a visa.
		Moscow city officials often invoke imagery of a wave of immigrants sweeping over the city, causing a rise in crime[5] and straining the city’s resources and infrastructure to the brink.
		The Moscow city government cancelled the fee in December 1996,[30] but according to Civic Assistance, Russia’s foremost refugee rights organization, registration authorities in the city of Moscow continue to attempt to extract enormous registration fees from those whose applications for permanent residence were otherwise in order.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Iain Sinclair (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Among contemporary British writers, no one has made the city the central subject of their work to quite such an extent as Iain Sinclair.
		More satirical than his previous work, Downriver envisages a society ruled over by “The Widow”, a grotesque version of Margaret Thatcher who has constructed a one-party state in her fifth term of office and who is obsessed with the building of a gigantic monument to her “late consort” in London's Docklands.
		Meanwhile, the Isle of Dogs has become the Isle of Doges (Vat City plc), a closed city run by a Satanic Vatican as a “deregulated isthmus of Enterprise”.

		We both had great experiences with the Marion City Schools before leaving in 1981.
		"Taft was the school that bought the students from other areas of the city together to truly find the meaning of school spirit.
		It was a building ground of character and I think that job was accomplished for all of the students in the city of Marion."

	Oklahoma City, OK (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Oklahoma City is huge; if you factor in the surrounding towns like Edmond, Moore, Norman, El Reno, and so forth, it’s one of the largest–in terms of land area–metropolitan areas in the world.
		Once again the festival is in the deadCENTER of downtown Oklahoma City with screenings at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, the Individual Artists of Oklahoma Gallery, Kerr Park, the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library, the Harkins Bricktown Theater, the Skirvin Hotel, and the lawn at 3rd and EK Gaylord.
		I’m a big-city kind of girl, myself, and the past four years in OKC have been a bit of culture shock as I’ve tried to figure out where to go, what to do, and how to get there, but I’m glad to be able to start sharing every local gem I’ve discovered.

		When 390 closed down, he worked briefly as an announcer for Rediffusion Television before joining the BBC as a producer.
		I think most of the guys thought I was making a fortune out of my Radio City show but alas no! (After the closedown) I did work for Radio Luxembourg, CBS Radio, World Service etc. During the launch of Radio One I was in hospital with a virus that took six months to clear.
		When we were all thrown on to the dole (by the legislation closing Radio 270 down) I went back to Scotland and started up the then new concept of the mobile discotheque.
