Download or read book Rockaway written by Tara Ison and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “How tragic that this book--set in a Queens, New York, beach town that in real life was devastated by Sandy--has a new relevance. Sarah is a California painter who’s come east for a retreat she hopes will revive her artistic passion. It’s a sheer joy to stay in the company of Ison’s voice. There’s an unlikely relationship at the center, the kind of encounter that could happen only in the summertime suspension of ‘ordinary’ life.” --Karen Russell, O Magazine Rockaway Beach, 2001. Sarah, a painter from southern California, retreats to this eccentric, eclectic beach town in the far reaches of Queens with the hopes of rediscovering her passion for painting. Sarah has the opportunity for a real gallery showing if only she can create some new and interesting work. There, near the beach, she hopes to escape a life caught in the stasis of caregiving for her elderly parents and working at an art supply store to unleash the artist within. One summer, a room filled with empty canvasses, nothing but possibility. There she meets Marty, an older musician from a once-popular band whose harmonies still infuse the summertime music festivals. His strict adherence to his music and to his Jewish faith will provoke unexpected feelings in Sarah and influence both her time there and her painting. Rockaway is a time capsule love letter to a quirky, singular town, in a time before an entire community was brought to its knees in the events about to occur in September 2001, and to an entire town that faced tragedy again when it was summarily devastated eleven years later by Hurricane Sandy.

Also included in this volume are photo essays featuring the Great Iron Pier of Rockaway Beach: a featured tribute to some of the (former) local fire houses; the Far Rockaway railway station (Depot Square) and why and how it developed into a shopping plaza during the second half of the 20th Century as well as the ultimate demise of that underutilized commercial property; the famous Elstone Hotel and grounds in the Bayswater section of Far Rockaway; the Roche's development on South Street in lower Far Rockaway; the enormous popularity of the many tent cities before they were eclipsed by summer rental bungalows; the rise and fall of Hog Island -- "once upon a time you saw it - now you don't"; some final images of Rockaway's Playland recorded almost immediately before the arrival of the demolition crews; and these are only a few of the exciting discoveries unearthed and revealed between the covers of this book. This work also includes the full report issued on March 20th, 1918 as prepared and presented by the Chief Engineer of The New York City Board of Estimate and Apportionment regarding the diminishing beaches of the Rockaway Peninsula. So, be prepared to be entertained and informed by this author's latest release in his continuing salute to the history of the Rockaways.

Book Synopsis The Encyclopedia of New York City by : Kenneth T. Jackson
Download or read book The Encyclopedia of New York City written by Kenneth T. Jackson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 4282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering an exhaustive range of information about the five boroughs, the first edition of The Encyclopedia of New York City was a success by every measure, earning worldwide acclaim and several awards for reference excellence, and selling out its first printing before it was officially published. But much has changed since the volume first appeared in 1995: the World Trade Center no longer dominates the skyline, a billionaire businessman has become an unlikely three-term mayor, and urban regeneration—Chelsea Piers, the High Line, DUMBO, Williamsburg, the South Bronx, the Lower East Side—has become commonplace. To reflect such innovation and change, this definitive, one-volume resource on the city has been completely revised and expanded. The revised edition includes 800 new entries that help complete the story of New York: from Air Train to E-ZPass, from September 11 to public order. The new material includes broader coverage of subject areas previously underserved as well as new maps and illustrations. Virtually all existing entries—spanning architecture, politics, business, sports, the arts, and more—have been updated to reflect the impact of the past two decades. The more than 5,000 alphabetical entries and 700 illustrations of the second edition of The Encyclopedia of New York City convey the richness and diversity of its subject in great breadth and detail, and will continue to serve as an indispensable tool for everyone who has even a passing interest in the American metropolis.
