(That background in language has led to my Word Connections blog.)<br /><br />And springboarding off one of the things Shoreacres said, I'll add that I was at Columbia when New York was hit by the big blackout of November 9, 1965. I walked five miles to my uncle's house in Chelsea and spent the night there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5698728871635545011.post-30177760976986827782012-01-17T02:39:33.990-05:002012-01-17T02:39:33.990-05:00Goodness me, I DO live in a backwater!

I visited many times with an aunt who lived on West 16th, and dear friends from Liberia moved to Morningside Heights when they returned to the States.

I lived for a year at 636 West End Ave. when I was a senior at Columbia, and sometimes I walked across Amsterdam Ave. from there and into the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

How lucky you are to have all those museums, galleries, the park, the restaurants, the music, darn near everything available. <br /><br />My favorite photo is of the water towers, but I wouldn't have thought NYC had water towers like this.
