Belair Road - Hidden Jewel in the Crown

Some might argue that Belair Road is really part of Shore Acres. Feh. For me, Shore Acres only includes that area between Bay Street and the water. I place this little traveled street squarely in the neighborhood of Rosebank.

While the decorative supports for the porch roof have been lost a zoom in on it will show the beautiful scrollwork eaves have survived.

Today the hedges have been allowed to grow over the columns standing astride the entrance walk and the tree in the front yard towers high above the roof of this quaint Mediterranean style house.

Oddly unpainted but largely intact - sorry about the telephone pole









I'm finding I'm having a much tougher time creating posts about Rosebank that I thought I would. Most of my work is predicated on what I can find digging through NYPL's digital collection. While I'm finding numerous good shots of Rosebank's beautiful and often stately homes, I'm finding few images of the neighborhood's commercial structures.

Oh, there are a few specific shots, but most are like the stores I put up that were essentially background images on Rosebank's Tangled Backstreets. So far I'm having little luck with pictures showing Bay Street in its past glory which seems odd. I mean we're talking about a stretch of major road from Vanderbilt Avenue to at least Hylan Boulevard and I'm getting next to nothing. So there's a bunch of work I need to do and it means getting up off my rump and going to the St. George Library. Oh, well.

What Is An Educated Person?

What Is An Educated Filipino? This applies to all citizens of the world.

In our daily lives, we often encounter people we thought are well educated but to our dismay we discover them to be worst than animals. We have seen legislators fighting like barbarians inside the Senate or Congress. We have heard highly intellectuals and high profile individuals involved in scandals and scams. In many cases, the well-educated people who lead a country turn out to be the most corrupt and worst leaders in history. These types of people are sometimes regarded as “educated but not learned’. 

The Philippines is one of the countries in the world with the highest literacy rate. It is also the third largest English-speaking country. In addition, millions of Overseas Filipino Workers or OFWs are deployed almost in all parts of the globe.
