By: westend104. on 18 Aug 08, 18:54:38
The Upper West Side of Manhattan is GREAT. Quiet, residential, but lots of interesting shops, stores, and a real neighborhood-y place in Manhattan which is friendly to students. I've lived in the area called "SoCo" (South of Columbia) for years, and students come down to are neighborhood around Broadway and 104th Street for restaurants, coffee shops, and groceries. The subway, of course, means you're close to all the rest of Manhattan, so you're as isolated or connected as you want to be.

Edit: If you've never visited New York before and are planning to in the near future, I strongly suggest you make a stop at this academic powerhouse to check out the campus in person. It is beautiful. I've been there about four times in the last six years, and every last time it felt like I wasn't in my own backyard anymore. I am a little over a year and a half from applying to the School of Public health at CU. I hope I get in. They have everything I am looking for in a school.

It does say POWER, doesn't it, Brittany? Many universities are in to the classical buildings and statements that they are Ivy-covered towers where Learning lives. NYC also has lower-profile colleges and universities that are definitely worth looking into, like Pratt, any of the CUNY schools, Pace, the New School, Fordham, and many others! Thanks for watching!

You're welcome! And thanks for sharing that field trip. I remember my first field trip to Chicago when I was in junior high school. It was scary. They told us to duck down in our bus seats when passing one of the high-rise apartment complexes that overlooked the freeway; the day before, snipers were shooting at cars from apartment windows. Major gangstas!!!

By: cazzz19. on 13 Feb 08, 11:24:12
Eh, they're okay. They're not fantastic, but not terrible either. Especially considering this is Manhattan where space is such a scarcity. There's an entire building (John Jay) where its all single dorms for freshmen only, which is rare for undergrad colleges, especially freshmen.

By: AyeJreem. on 12 Feb 08, 22:19:50
yeah I went there for a field trip last year. The more popular areas were really nice (5th avenue and T.S as long as you dont look at the ground!!). So it was really great . Our hotel was in such a ghetto area though! The first 15mins in NYC was frightening. We don't have many "hardcore gangstas" in t. Other than that it was great for 50 kids in an arts program. But I could feel how fresh the air was home after, you can smell the smoke/trash in a lot of areas in NY, cept central park. Thank you!

By: westend104. on 12 Feb 08, 15:48:06
Adventure is definitely NYC's middle name! It's a fast-paced, busy, and surprisingly friendly city (much more so than most U.S. cities; people are so helpful and I like their style of being very direct versus the "fake nice" behavior in most other places). The weather is relatively mild, and the air COULD be better (you are right that there is a pollution problem here and in other big cities). Keep dreaming, and do give our big city a try!

NYC is smelly and ...
By: AyeJreem. on 12 Feb 08, 00:13:18

By: the20thcenturyfox. on 15 Sep 08, 19:26:30
Well the sad reality in America is as my cousin puts it "our world of fuckin lawyers". In America people will sue for anything and pretend that personal accountability doesnt exist. Which is probably one of the reasons GW isnt behind bars right now. It also makes it hard to donate things like used medical equipment (crutches in the case of my cousin) because the organizations are afraid of getting sued for the equipment possibly being faulty.

By: reaperette. on 15 Sep 08, 12:33:36
i first heard about freeganson oprah. i'm in NZ now, and the supermarkets sell slightlywithered produce at low prices and usually when we buy those things we basically waver the rights to sue should we get food poisoning. but on oprah i saw that they throw out perfectly good food (packaged corn, looked very fresh) it's sad cause people are starving elsewhere and food just easily goes down the trash.

Thanks so much for watching and commenting -- I found your insights on recycling very interesting; it's such an important issue to recycle and reuse society's waste. And it's good to get a Freegan's confirmation of the food that is recycled! Thanks again for your great comments!

By: the20thcenturyfox. on 03 Sep 08, 08:54:23
I live in the city and used to work in a survey center and one time we had to ask people "If it would save the city money should we stop recycling?" and the amount of people that said yes was astonishing. I mean I would have been shocked by only one just cuz' to me recycling is an obvious thing especially with a city that produces as much waste as NYC. Also the food Freegans take is 100% quality food still in the packaging sometimes and fresh no need to be scared. I'm Freegan serious! ha ha :)

By: LordLebu. on 15 Jun 08, 11:13:44
"which demands clearing of land for grain to feed and let cattle graze" omg, that is unthikable here, lol . People here used to make 100% use of almost everything . Even the wastes , like coconut shells or even cattle poop went on to be used as fuel or even natural pesticides . Unfortunately ,dude, people here think just the opposite , processed food are becoming more popular here . The old village lifestyle is simply loosing its foothold .

Greetings to you ...
By: westend104. on 12 Jun 08, 15:57:31
Greetings to you and beautiful India! Well, not ALL Americans waste food. I'd say the big problems are too much meat addiction (which demands clearing of land for grain to feed and let cattle graze) and the insane packaging and transportation of foodstuffs that is wasteful. There is a strong, positive movement in America to buy produce and crops from farmers markets and to eat locally produced and raised foods, avoiding food that is processed and shipped from far away.

By: westend104. on 16 May 08, 13:37:59
I like recycling; it makes so much sense to me. My son would often move from one apartment to another in Chicago, he's not a big one on keeping possessions like furniture, so he would line his furniture up on the curb for people to pick up and use as they wished. I think that's great (although I stopped buying him furniture when I learned he was just giving it away!). LOL Many thanks for watching and commenting! Best, Jay

Thanks for watching and your comments are great. Trash finds are excellent, particularly wood and solid furniture.

Thanks for watching! The room's color is fun -- it's like a Dreamsicle orange, but not a bright orange. The molding on the walls is widely spaced at the bottom of the wall and the molding bands narrow towards the top to help give the illusion of extra height. As to the messy part, this room is NOT always neat. If the bed is made in the morning, it's easy to keep the rest neat. There's a small hamper on wheels in the bedroom closet to help dump dirty clothes in -- instead of on the floor.

It seems to be getting worse, doesn't it? We run the government on a lot of credit, and many people and businesses also use credit. Sometimes I think it would be great to start over and trade seashells or beads!

53 trillon (total national debt), divided by 300 million (people in this contry)= $1,786,666 per person. Do you have it? Cause i don't.

Right you are about ...
By: westend104. on 14 Jul 08, 23:20:55
Right you are about the public debt versus the total debt. It's staggering. Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma shows how Americans are eating terribly and why they are doing so; the premise is that this terrible diet is at the heart of much that is wrong with the country, aided by bad national policies. I love the U.S. in spite of the government; so many people are kind and generous. I was trapped in the debris cloud of 9/11 here in NYC; it took me awhile to gain positive balance....

By: bububeta. on 14 Jul 08, 07:45:44
The clock doesn't show the whole picture. It only shows PUBLIC DEBT. The 9 trillion is nothing compared to the TOTAL DEBT which includes public, private and financiar sectors. The TOTAL DEBT of the US is about 53 TRILION DOLLARS. USA is doomed!

Thanks for watching and commenting! You are so right; having everyone in government be aware of how fast our debts are rising would be a good thing. They would think twice before spending money on waste and selfish bills. All the best to you in Slovenia! --Jay

Thanks for watching, Giovanna, and ciao to you too! I think our countries have frightening debts, you are so right. Our government just announced an over $40 million mailing to Americans to let them know they will be getting some relief checks in the mail -- a complete waste of time and money. Have a wonderful day, and let's pray that sounder minds with more economic sense prevails in governments around the world . . . soon! All the best, Jay

Abandoned Buildings Dilemma

My visit to the Mississippi River town where I grew up led to discovering old architecture, abandoned and without prospects for renovation or rehabbing. It's a problem prevalent throughout small towns! Go to Design2Share.com for the latest expert home design tips, advice, diaries, blogs, videos, and photo shoots.

By: westend104. on 14 Oct 08, 18:00:34
You're summarizing it beautifully. The moral of growing up is that small towns are losing out and perhaps in the future we will return to a more small town, rural way of life here in the U.S. and begin to honor the slower and gentler pace of these wonderful towns and small cities.

I really enjoyed your video. I did the same thing when I went home to visit. You cry for your home town. I cry for my home town, have all my childhood memiories there. You want to fix it. But how? I share your passion about the buildings. Tear down a town fixture to put in a parking lot or casino? What have we done to ourselfs?

Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your Clinton experiences! For years the Downtown Clinton Association had a lock on business within Clinton city limits, but they relaxed zoning to invite franchises and chain stores into the city, and that began the shift over to the Wal-Mart and highway string of businesses. I used to love shopping at Penney, Grants, Kleins, Jupiter, Woolworth's, Allen's Tea Room, Marcussi's, and other downtown mainstays. Thank heavens Rastrelli's is still around!

It's a shame that these buildings are not being used. I went to Roosevelt School in Clinton. The last time I heard, it was being used as a school district office.

By: qernst8. on 12 Aug 08, 08:46:54
This is a nice video but kind of depressing. I've been in and around the Clinton area since I was born and it seems like everything in the Lyons District and downtown is getting abandoned for the new business area on the highway. Wal-Mart kind of drove everything out of business in my opinion. I remember going to some of those downtown stores (remember when we had a JC Penny?) when I was a little kid in the '90s but now most of them are gone. :(

Alex, thanks much ...
By: westend104. on 23 May 08, 15:56:56
Alex, thanks much for watching and commenting on this vid. It's true that small towns are strapped for cash; if populations drop, the tax base just isn't there to support rehabs. I agree with you about the architectural differences between today and yesterday. We often pay less for much less style and function, and I wish it were not the case. Best, Jay

By: DewbieHaut. on 23 May 08, 02:24:52
It does need TLC, but many small town unfortunately don't get the funds to do rehabs. todays architecture is very different from the 19th and 20th century architecture in a bad way.

Thanks for watching, Inkey! Students go to newer schools that were builtin the 1950s and 1960s (pretty much simple, cheap buildings without any character to them). The population is holding steady at about 27,000; it was 31,000 when I went to high school there back in the late 1960s. Greetings to you in the USVI! Best, Jay

By: westend104. on 07 May 08, 15:45:10
Ryan, many thanks for watching and commenting. You are spot-on with your comments; it is very frustrating, and many communities haven't spoken out to try to find new uses for old building resources. Your point about craftsmanship is also relevant; with today's cut-corners and inexpensive finishes, we are losing amazing buildings with gorgeous detail work -- and many details get ripped out for architectural salvage, which is tragic. I hope it will all change!

It's so ...
By: kilkennycatart. on 06 May 08, 00:18:48
It's so heartbreaking to see all these beautiful old building abandoned. Once they're gone, they're gone. There's no replacing them with the craftmanship of the day. The normal excuse for the abandonement is, "Oh it'll cost to much to rehabilitate it." Shouldn't have let it go in the first place. Very frustrating.

That is so true, ...
By: westend104. on 05 May 08, 12:50:54
That is so true, Giovanna. The health and wellbeing of buildings is important to a few, and I love the historic buildings preservation efforts going on around the world, trying to save the heritage of communities. These buildings served people well for decades; we need to be more creative about how we find NEW purposes for old buildings -- community and arts centers, new-concept restaurants, museums and art galleries, etc. xxooJay

It's nice to know that there is somebody in the world who has a heart for old abandoned buildings. I also share the same saddness with you, as I lived in on old abandoned ranch that my g-g-grandfather built back in 1880 and couldn't part from it. Please see my video called " a little gypsy"- read the info.
