The answer to this meta is the theme of the puzzle.
This is reconstruction of the other "Urban Familiarity". It has the exact same answer and mechanism. However this one is 15x15 rather than 21x21. I felt the themers were discouragingly sparse in the other. In this one, however, I have the opposite problem in that the grid is quite dense I a had a lot of "painting myself into corners" for contrived and artificially convoluted clues to justify absurd combinations of words and letters. A few in a puzzle are always fun but a grid with 80% contrived? ... well you tell me.

Got it! Whoopie!
Wondered about some of the strange clueing but it all served its purpose. This was quite a feat, and you did it to yourself twice! Very much liked how some of the entries were put to double use. You're on your way, woozy!

Whew! It had to use both grids (started with the big one) and the first five nudges. Then I looked at the grids again and realized that the entries that were the same in both were important.
