I’m bracing myself for the next few days of sweltering heat. I went out this morning to buy a fan, I don’t know how I’ve been living without one this long!
A friend of mine told me about the Jazz Age Festival at Governor’s Island this weekend. Where is Governor’s Island, you ask? It’s that mysterious spot of park land a ferry ride away from lower Manhattan. I am willing to bet it’s pretty awesome since not many people know or even think about it. I ride past the ferry terminal all the time and tell myself I should check it out but never do. I wish I could motivate to go, but today I need to catch up on some reading and prepare for a couple of interviews this week. I think I’ll take my bike out there next weekend and explore for a day. Already so many questions come to mind, like: what is the origin of the name, what was the island originally used for and what is it now? I’ll report back on those burning questions and more.
