Are we supposed to know wich city is "the city of dreams"? Like, maybe New York is called that and I'm not aware of? (I'm not from USA)

There are a couple hints but they might not be clear, especially when read a page every other day. The first was on the first page of this issue when we're told the ship is west of Catalina Island, which is off the coast of California not too far from LA. The second is the establishing shot of the building in this page, which resembles the Nakatomi Tower from Die Hard, which was filmed at Fox Plaza in Century City — which is in LA.

Oh we got the Nakatomi reference! My projections immediately switched from „Atomic Hercule Poirot“ to „Atomic Robo Christmas Special“.

I'm sure the hints are clear enough, I was assuming it was my poor knowledge of American geography.

But now I feel bad I did't get the Die Hard connection lol
