Writes of Passage

南京江北新区图书馆 石佛大街与万寿路交叉口

A new library in the North of River newly developed area in Nanjing: people are waiting for  the opening at 9am every day, and rush in to grab a seat or two!

… 一哄而上 crowd up (?) describes acting rashly and simultaneously without organization and preparation. 一哄而上的抢独立空间座位  a rush to grab independent seats. … in a library!

偌大的江北图书馆，所有合适的地方都设置了座位，读者每天逾3千人，暑假更多。能够在这样设施舒适现代、书香气息浓郁的场馆里，拥有一方独立的空间，一坐一天，尽情的享受研学的快乐，是很惬意的。每天上午九点开馆，一哄而上的抢独立空间座位的事，是领略过的。
​每次来图书馆，图1～4所示的固定场所，总能看到这个阳光帅气、读初二的少年。好奇的问他怎么保证有这个固定的位置？回答是，整个暑假里，他父亲每天帮他抢座位，中午送来饮食，下午六点闭馆才接他离开。
好​刻苦认真的孩子，好一个望子成龙的父亲，真心祝福！

Probably will return

The cigar boxes decor is cool

An average restaurant with good service and Cuban food. The steak sandwich looks really good – probably will return for it.

My grouper is good, I didn’t ask for the bun.

Will return when pass by.

We stopped by this cute shack off 301 at Ferraro’s. It opens on weekdays – the tomato farm opens on weekends. We had our lunch but stopped by for some take out.

It’s a family business but the sweet girl said he’s not her father.

The mullet is pretty good. The crab cakes are ok – only bec I made a few two weeks ago myself, with less breadcrumbs (?) more crab meat.

All native. All green. Many butterflies.

I’ve no green thumb. My only time ‘gardening’ is during my supermarket trips, when I see a pretty orchid (have you seen an ugly orchid or flowers?!?) I buy it or them, start of my many gardening -:) journeys.

This place is kind of hidden, lovely. They’ve many plants that you won’t find elsewhere. No a/c (pls no hate here …) One bathroom.

Lunched at Ferraro’s; take out fm Gulley’s.
