《漫遊老臺南!臺南歷史地圖app》台南60年老舊戲院驚豔全球

全美戲院已經不算台南的老戲院了。大約建於50年前,是大全成的二輪「分院」。我1966年以前在府城台南看電影的首輪電影院,有南都,赤崁,延平,大全成,國華(專演台語片),還有世界戲院(專演國語片)。這些,爾今安在哉?此外有小全成,南台,實踐堂(二輪)。有一陣子還有古都(就是陳德聚堂)。
全美1969年才有,所以不到50年。那年我已大四,在台北。全美算是小戱院,大概店面只有南都或延平的三分之一大。換句話說,我家對面南都戱院的「看板」(日語發音),長度至少是此照片中全美的三、四倍大!(因為只陳列兩部電影,而非三,四部)。真可惜沒有照相存證。
「我願意出錢買一幅回家掛」、「這技術實在讓人太驚艷了」、「太厲害的男人了」,為何一家老舊二輪戲院的電影海報,會在美國論壇《reddit》引發熱…

New York University: Washington Square Park;Savoring autumn's colors before they fade away

Savoring autumn's colors before they fade away. #NYUvibe





Evening falls on winter wonderland, aka Washington Square Park.‪#‎NYUvibe‬


Washington Square Park is one of the best-known of New York City's 1,900 public parks. At 9.75 acres (39,500 m2), it is a landmark in Manhattan in the neighborhood ofGreenwich Village, as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity.[1] It is operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
The Park is an open space, dominated by the Washington Square Arch, with a tradition of celebrating nonconformity. The Park's fountain area has long been one of the city's popular spots for residents and tourists. Most of the buildings surrounding the park now belong to New York University, but many have at one time served as homes and studios for artists. Some of the buildings have been built by NYU, others have been converted from their former uses into academic and residential buildings.

The revolutionary city that revived Indian pride

30 November 2016 Last updated at 00:31 GMT
After India's traumatic partition Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru persuaded the maverick Swiss-French architect, Le Corbusier, to help reinvent a newly independent India by building a new capital city for the province of Punjab.
Le Corbusier had revolutionised architecture and urban planning in the first half of the twentieth century. He was loved and hated in equal measure for his modernist approach, favouring flat roofs, glass walls and concrete.
Nehru said this new city would be "symbolic of the freedom of India, unfettered by the traditions of the past".
Starting in 1950 the city of Chandigarh was built from scratch on farmland and is unlike any other city in India. The broad boulevards, pedestrianised plazas and green spaces were designed to encourage a feeling of order and of being close to nature.
Witness spoke to Sumit Kaur, former Chief Architect and lifelong resident of Chandigarh, about the personal legacy left by Le Corbusier.

中國商人,緬甸曼德勒(Mandalay)的「闖入者」


Mandalay
City in Myanmar
Mandalay is a city and former royal capital in northern Myanmar (formerly Burma) on the Irrawaddy River. In its center is the restored Mandalay Palace from the Konbaung Dynasty, surrounded by a moat. Mandalay Hill provides views of the city from its summit, which is reached by covered stairway. At its foot, the Kuthodaw Pagoda houses hundreds of Buddhist-scripture-inscribed marble slabs.

The New York Times Chinese -Traditional 紐約時報中文網
中國人主導了曼德勒的經濟。在一個被稱為「新城」的華人聚居區,沿街都是他們的豪宅,那是他們在緬甸北部的撣邦和佤邦從事毒品、木材和礦產地下貿易積累起來的財富的象徵。
曼德勒的居民則將中國商人視為闖入者。 「新來者與緬甸人之間存在緊張關係很自然。緬甸人用仇恨的眼光看中國人,因為他們非常傲慢。」
緬甸城市曼德勒因礦石、木材與毒品交易聞名。許多中國人來到這裡經商致富。但他們現實、炫耀的生活方式引發當地人的反感,加深了彼此間的隔閡。
