I should know about the clothes thing, my mother is after all a fashion designer and makes custom fit women's clothing with imported fabrics. Not sure what a Roof City is, but I did have a good time on two roofs. @Jacob Welsh Thanks for clearing up the leak question / the various insights. Yes, the water flow from the leak would have taken years to fill in the compartment by itself. I will remember to go for a walk during high tide next time. Looks like the capybara might be what I saw, cool. @Diana Coman

It's the original 100yo concrete walls, possibly the gates too though the drive mechanism was renovated. The operational water flows are much larger and go through channels in the sides of the walls beneath the surface. The trolleys are called "mules" and are on a cog rail to navigate that hill to stay at the necessary height. They've been known to get smooshed when a large vessel drifts off center. High tide is usually better for walks near the ocean, smell-wise. The large rodents are likely capybara, "ñeque" they call them here.

(As an aside and pro bien vestido, the thing with quality clothes -and that means materials too and cut and everything else that goes into it - is that they are also actually way more comfortable esp. in humidity+heat and the like.) From this at least, Panama City sounds like a sort of Roof City. Can't help thinking also that with such a location as The Screw, I couldn't have resisted naming the Junto the Turn of the Screw instead and that would have driven then some topic choices too, for sure.
