NYC Before
NYC is a mysterious ,dark continent of the unknown for me. I go to NYC only when I have to (which is rare). I really don't know anything about the city. But I am looking forward to the class, an adventure. I just came home from a 2 days upstate. I found a used bookstore in a town called Deposit. I went in to do some research on the World's Fair,but found a book called" Liquid Assets-" The history of New York City's Water System . ( I will share the book with you ) I can't seem to put it down. Its the story of how the fresh water gets to thirsty New York. INCREDIBLE. I also found books on the Worlds Fair, but would like to do some research on the reservoirs and watersheds of upstate New York. Looking forward to my New York City adventure

ReplyDeletePatricia, I enjoyed reading your entries, which were nicely written. You do need to write a bit more about your experiences and be more consitent in citing the BG and other sites.
