If you went west you would see neighborhoods like Stari Grad, Grbavica, Novi Grad, Mojmilo, Dobrinja, and, finally, Ilidža, where there was a park filled with trees, streams, and a pond where swans lived in what looked like a dog’s house. You would pass by the Academy of Fine Arts, the sporting and trade complex of Skenderija, the Grbavica football stadium, the Palma pastry shop, the offices of the newspaper Oslobođenje, the airport, and the Butmir settlement, where Neolithic humans lived five thousand years ago.
