  1. While I confess I did not watch these videos in their entirety….I also love the old buildings and I feel sad that the upcoming generation only knows the “new” buildings with shoddy materials and shoddy workmanship….

    • So true. I don’t even really like any modern structures. I’ll confess something too–I couldn’t get past the first few minuted of one of the Penn Station videos because I found it too depressing.

      I need to post something more upbeat next time!

      Hope you’re well, Sue.

  2. I am still horrified at the total lack of thought that went into the destruction of Penn Station. An architectural marvel, razed to make way for a hideous replacement. I remember reading somewhere that a man lamented that when people came in to NYC via Penn Station they came in like kings, after it was destroyed, they came in like rats. It could make you weep for such a loss of a beautiful building that should have been preserved.

    • Just seeing the beautiful sculpted figures wrecked on the ground made me almost cry. What were they thinking? I don’t understand such waste and such lack of appreciation for beauty. It’s like when people in New Milford complained that there were too many trees. Insane!

      When are you going to come visit me? We just had baby goats–what a saga from hell–but the babies are adorable. Will the rain and grey ever stop?

About
My aim is to keep you turning pages well past bedtime with historical family sagas. Complex characters are my thing. I want to draw you into the lives of people you will love, hate and cry over. My goal is for history to come alive for you whether it be in a Civil War field hospital, an experimental Utopian society or in the dark-paneled rooms of Gilded Age socialites. If you like Gone with the Wind, Cold Mountain and Age of Innocence you may enjoy The Tenafly Road Series.
When not writing novels, you can find me knee-deep in farm muck.
