Writes of Passage

China Now Music Festival shoowcasing Chinese composers @ Carnegie. Cai Jindong 蔡金冬conducts. Mr. Yu 俞 is there too, in the audience. The music is so so – too modern for my taste. Our comp tickets are front and center @ Parquet E row.

Normally by now, we’d see the pretty foliage but not this year. The warm weather doomed our sights. The autumn leaves on Long Island haven’t changed – this report updates out on Wednesdays.

The museum is tiny, housed in Schermerhorn Row. It’s good for my research purpose but not sure the “been here” stamp crowds will enjoy it as much. I took the Archtober tour which I highly recommend, is awesome: load of information and very engaging. Walked hearty 5.1 miles.

We call it St. Paul, four blocks north of Trinity @ 209 Broadway in New York. This Bell of Hope was gifted by mayor of London and the Archbishop of Canterbury in 2002.9.11. It rings annually on Sept. 11, in memory of the attack, of HOPE not tragedy.

The 39 foot tall (11.9 m) Astor Cross was installed in 1914 by Carrie, in memory of her mother Mrs. Astor – Caroline ‘Lina’ Schermerhorn who died in 1908. Lina was the granddaughter of Peter Schermerhorn who built the Schermerhorn Row @ South Street Seaport. This cenotaph was designed by Thomas Nash.

The condo building on the former parking lot by the LIRR train on 41st Avenue in Flushing is going up quickly. The assault in Flushing is 海陆空 multifaucet: from the air, the road, the rail. A small part of it is on the water but that part poses no beauty nor headache. The airplanes, the buses and the trains are adding tension in the congested area.
