Writes of Passage

The museum is tiny, housed in Schermerhorn Row. It’s good for my research purpose but not sure the

209 Broadway

^{The caption} The corner of Broadway and Ann Street, shown here as it looked in 1831, would in the future be made famous by P.T. Barnum, still only an apprentice hoaxer. The American Museum he would acquire was now located in its new, five-story marble building (far left), opposite St. Paul’s Church. Later in the decade, the building at right would give way to the grand new Astor Hotel.

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 steeple is on Broadway, one end to Wall Street. The other side is on Trinity Pl which facing to American Stock Exchange AMEX (86 Trinity Place). The main hall is under renovation.

In Christian, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in one – trinity (?) 

It has two other chapels: St. Paul’s @ 209 B’way, and St. Cornelius the Centurion @ Governors Island. 

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.

This church is seen as embodiment of the wasp / White Anglo-Saxon Protestant culture in the US.

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.

… and the working girls

@ South Street Seaport

The 9th Taste of the Seaport is taking place between Pier 17 and 16. The newly built structure and the open space on the Brooklyn Bridge side is very nice. The birds are happy too. The condo building One Manhattan Square is shimmering.

   

Last night I can’t sleep so watched Kidnapping Freddy Heineken (2015) – Anthony Hopkins played the elderly mogul, about him being held for weeks in 1983 in Amsterdam for ransom. Looking at the Heineken Riverdeck (Lounge) makes me think: was it coincident?
