A day in New York City
Comments (60)Still have SO much to consider and decide on, but wanted to say that I've now decided to stay over for two nights so will have a bit more time, and also reserved a room at the Salisbury on 57th Street, a very short stroll from Central Park. The hotel is older (right next to the Calvary Baptist Cathedral; I believe the hotel building is actually owned by the church), and a bit shabby -- but in that way it reminds me of places I've stayed in London. As I was perusing the hotel's website and considering a very decent sale rate of $120 per night for a king room, the site suddenly changed and showed a dropped price of $48 (!) for the last king room available on my chosen arrival night. I hopped on that like a cat on a paper bag! So, while not the most glamorous accommodation in the city, the location is amazing. I'm really excited, but truly overwhelmed at the choices I now have to make as to what will fill my time. My friends have not fully committed to staying over, but I suspect they will. Even if they don't, I'm going to have fun!...See MoreHOUSE TOUR | European Charm in This Cozy New York City Apartment
Comments (1)She obviously loves it. I like seeing people enthused about something It’s a good feeling I really love some of the furniture. She has lovely things. Generally, I don’t like fake plants. The tree is a pretty good fake but it’s too small for that huge pot. IMHO It was one thing that really bothered me....See MoreInside CeCe Barfield Thompson's New York City Apartment
Comments (12)I like the living room and both bedrooms, but the china closet is my favorite space! i don’t care for the dining room at all; if you’re going to swath a room in fabric it should be more interesting than ticking— and I love ticking. Her singsong voice is a type of speech that I find very off putting, especially when so many sentences end with an upwards tone like everything is a question. She has the coastal grandmother thing going on in spades, which is odd for someone her age. I would expect it from older people or the very young for whom it is a novelty....See MoreCommunity spread in New York City of polio
Comments (25)I too remember lining up for the first polio vaccines (and later the sugar cubes in the school cafeteria) in our small town. My Dad was the March of Dimes campaign chair and I was old enough to go with him to a few events that summer. The little sister of a good friend contracted polio and spent some time in an iron lung. She survived fine but wore leg braces for quite a while. She ended up as a state poster child when the campaign began. Her mother and my Dad were 2nd cousins iirc thru their mothers, so in those days, family truly meant a lot. I also recall getting vaccinated for typhoid and tetanus and everything else that came along, No questions asked. Thank you, mom and dad....See Moredaisyinga
