Tossup

This city’s notoriously unfinished Foreshore Freeway Bridge became known as “Solly’s Folly.” This city’s “Second New Year” celebration, usually hosted on January 2, includes a minstrel carnival that features troupes called klopse (“KLOP-suh”). Bree Street is a hip area in this city, where Michael Elion installed a giant pair of stainless steel Ray-Ban Wayfarers overlooking the ocean in 2014. Corrugated iron shacks house thousands of “backyard dwellers” in poor areas of this city such as Mitchells Plain and its namesake “Flats.” Pastel-colored houses on this city’s Signal Hill line a neighborhood once named for its Malay population. Over one million of this city’s residents are of a multiracial ancestry known legally (10[1])as Coloured.
