In the last installment we ended the tour in front of Carnegie Hall (Library). From Carnegie Hall proceed south on College Avenue to the corner of College and Fourth Street.

Many of us are making our homes as sustainable as possible. But are these homes sustainable? How can we regenerate? A significant change for a home is to use solar electricity—particularly with battery backup.
This provides energy production and storage—right where we need it. We can make better use of solar energy as well as avoid uninterrupted grid-power outages.
Sometimes, it’s the little things that count. Sometimes, the little things are what bring joy and pleasure.
That’s especially true during this pandemic and the recent uprising over police brutality and racial inequality, as overdue and as hope-inspiring as it is. (Did they have to happen at the same time, especially as protesting could be dangerous, even lethal, with COVID-19 in the air?)
There’s been an enormous amount of discussion throughout the country about whether states should enforce strict measures for wearing masks to slow the spread of COVID-19. Mask wearing enforcement can be so intense that some health officials quit their jobs after receiving threats from the public.
Americans clearly feel they have a right to say “no mask for me,” as we see people of all ages and political beliefs go maskless in social situations.
Our walking tour of Claremont continues. In part one, we started at the Depot, zig-zagged our way through the east Village, and explored the west Village, ending at The Packing House on First Street. Part two begins there. Cross First Street and proceed north on Oberlin.
This is an experience I had to share. I’m leaving LA for work in Virginia when I know everyone I’m going to see has one thing on their mind…am I healthy? To squash all those thoughts and give people peace of mind I decided to take a COVID-19 test.
Upon taking the test I realized there are a lot of misconceptions about how it works.
