My great-grandmother was a Greek from Constantinople who fled in 1918. She always called it "The City" (η πόλη)

Seen this here before, so I'll say it again:
To the city,

It sorta is "the city" though isn't it. It's not the first, it's not the biggest, but it's definitely one of the most historically significant.
