The third update today, please recommend, please subscribe!

The bright sun is shrouded in the sky above Columbia University's Morningside Heights (ght) campus. Unlike the high-rise buildings in the center of Manhattan, the projected sunlight is always sparsely blocked. Morningside Heights College is located at the back of Central Park and is close to the Hudson River. , not only can you see the sparkling riverside, but the lush greenery in the field of vision is always dyed with a touch of gold, which is very beautiful.

Speaking of Morningside Heights, it is actually not well known to outsiders. After all, in New York, the largest city in the world, there are too many well-known tourist attractions, but here is the unknown beauty of the Big Apple. Every day here They are the first places to see the sunrise, which is where the name "Morningside Heights" comes from. However, this highland has the most unique literary atmosphere in New York. In this small highland, there are many famous colleges and universities such as Barnard College of Columbia University and Manhattan School of Music.

Elena and Jia Siming stood in front of the window of her residence, watching the sun break free from the shackles of the sea level, and then slowly lit up the city wrapped in reinforced concrete with golden light. Perhaps the Morningside Heights is not down, the exciting and exciting urban area, the towering and prosperous midtown area, and the elegance and extravagance of the upper city area, but it has its own quietness. Elena-Jia Siming fell in love with it easily.

After finishing high school, Elena Jia Siming chose Columbia University, not only because it is the location of New York's Evan Bell, but also because Columbia University has the best journalism school in the world, where the Pulitzer Prize is awarded. Although the School of Journalism does not have undergraduate teaching, Elena Cave Jia Siming decided to enter Columbia University for undergraduate studies in film studies and comparative literature. She also has her best friend Elaine Brooke.

As soon as Elena and Jia Siming set foot on New York land, she fell in love with this city, because Evan Bell's peerless musical talent was nurtured here, and she discovered this treasure at the Eagle Rock Music Festival. ; And because it has witnessed the rise of Evan and Bell, the quietness and glory of Eleven Studios have been deeply embedded in the blue masonry of Prince Street. What a beautiful city this is.

Eleanor and Jia Siming live on 112th Street. The protagonist of Paul Auster's novel "Moon Palace" lives here. This may be the happiest street in Morningside Heights. Eleanor and Jia Siming live here. After falling in love with New York, I fell in love with this street named after a number.

At one end of the street is Amsterdam Road, and the intersection is opposite to another tourist attraction in this area besides Columbia University, a Gothic cathedral. In fact, this church is already dim and old, but it is still powerful and beautiful. Elena and Jia Siming can clearly watch the sun slowly climb the texture of the church's outer wall, showing the glory of the whole church little by little. , how magnificent and beautiful it is.

Coincidentally, the opposite of the church, which is the alley of Elena-Jia Siming's house, happened to be the entrance of a nursing home. Perhaps, the precipitation of time was particularly heavy on 112th Street.

Elena-Jia Siming suddenly remembered her first winter in New York. When she woke up early in the morning, she found snowflakes falling outside the window. She excitedly ran to the street to listen to the rustling of the snow falling, and then watched. The old church is wrapped in white snow. Suddenly, she had a second reason to fall in love with the city besides Evan Bell.

Just a few steps away from Jia Siming's residence in Elena Cave, there is a third reason for her to fall in love with New York: Labyrinth Bookstore. It is dominated by huge academic books, with new books on the first floor and a bookstore on the second floor like a formal library. Sishi is also a bookstore with a very attitude. On the magazine shelf when you enter the door, you can't see entertainment magazines and "Time" magazines, only critical magazines and art magazines. In March, the United States sent troops to attack Iraq. On that day, the bookstore pulled down its iron gate and posted a notice: In order to protest the war, they would close the store for a day.

The labyrinth bookstore makes Jia Siming feel that he is so close to Evan-Bell, not only because she likes Evan-Bell, but also because she likes the uninhibited and stubbornness that Evan-Bell and the labyrinth bookstore have in common, but also because of her I love the dazzling array of books. Elena-Jia Siming still remembers the excitement and excitement oozing out of her body when she first walked up to the second floor of the Labyrinth Bookstore and read them along the shelves of books. Evan Bell will love it here.

Elena-Jia Siming took a brisk pace, changed her clothes, and then walked down the stairs, bathed in the sun, and walked towards the other end of the street. This end was the Cathedral and the Labyrinth Bookstore, and the other end was Broadway.

At this moment, it was the most beautiful and peaceful moment in the quiet morning. Jim Jones, the guy at the entrance of the labyrinth bookstore, saw Elena Jia Siming and said hello, "Morning, Elena."

"Morning, Jim." Elena-Jia Siming showed a bright smile. Today's good weather made her feel like a cloudless blue sky.

"This week's Psychological Weekly arrived, and I saw a paper with Evan Bell. Jim Jones said with a smile.

Elena Jia Siming turned back and said with a smile, "I told you, when he went out for a backpack tour, he wasn't completely free, look. As Elena-Ja Siming spoke, he moved backwards, and Jim-Jones raised his hands to express his surrender. This made Elena-Ja Siming laugh out loud, a silver bell-like smile in the sunlight Brilliant.

Elena Jia Siming turned around and continued to move forward. The road below not only runs through Morningside Heights, but also runs through the essence of Manhattan: from Wall Street all the way north, through SoHo, Times Square, the Upper West Side, and finally to the alley where Tolena Jasmine lives. But there are no musicals, no clothing stores, and certainly no tourists on Broadway in Morningside Heights. However, because Columbia University has countless international students, there are restaurants with international flavors in just a few streets.

Passing by the intersection of 113th Street, Elena-Jia Siming stopped and chatted with the owner of 'Jin's Video' shop, "'Perfect World, I've finished watching it, it's really great . But I forgot to bring it when I went out today, sorry. "This is an audio-visual store, not only has a rich collection of DVs carefully classified according to directors from all over the world, but also the rent is cheap, and the CD part is a complete collection of independent music. It will be a very pleasant experience to buy discs here.

"It doesn't matter, just remember to bring it at night." The boss Fred Shengjin said with a smile.

"Fred, Evan's album will be released next week, will you put it on the shelves here?" Elena Jasmine always pays special attention to Evan and Bell.

Fred King immediately laughed out loud, with an expression of "I know what you mean", "Don't worry, Evan's album will definitely be on the shelves. No matter what others say, his album is here for me. Classified in the ranks of independent singers." Elena Jia Siming often rents C here, and she naturally understands her preferences.

"That could not be better." Elena-Jia Siming happily left the video store, passed the New York City Library next door, and went straight to Broadway between 114th and 115th Streets Go, just across from Columbia University, there is a legendary bar in the history of literature "WETDEN (WETDEN)." This is the destination of Elena and Jia Siming.

The West End Bar was the 'Beat Generation' bar of the 1940s, where Allen Ginsburg and Jack Kerouac mingled, in 2005 on the fiftieth anniversary of Allen Ginsburg's poetry collection Howl, Columbia The university held a poem recitation commemoration in this bar. Although Elena and Jia Siming did not see the grand occasion at that time, the photos on the wall of the bar can find a strong literary atmosphere.

Pushing open the door of the bar at the west end, although it was early in the morning, the door of the bar was easily opened, and there were already about thirty people gathered together. A few people gathered around, and everyone's faces were filled with sparkling excitement and excitement, Elena" Jia Siming found her friend Elaine Brook without much effort, "How is it, has the news been confirmed? ,

Elaine Brook and Elaine Sheng Jia Siming live in the same apartment, but last night, Elaine Brook went out to inquire about news and didn't return overnight, so the two will meet at the West End Bar today. She couldn't see the tiredness of running all night on her face, on the contrary, her sparkling eyes could easily see her excitement Still no, but I think there should be nothing wrong. "

When Elaine Brook was talking, the surrounding voices were a little lower, and many people were looking at it. There were still people coming in at the West End Bar during Xi Shi, but everyone was not too noisy. Cheng'We saw the Fox representative on the 10th yesterday, and they talked with Teddy there for at least 40 minutes. When they came out, I saw the Fox representative's expression was very light. "

Hearing this news, Elena Ja Siming immediately became excited, "If Fox can really broadcast it, it would be great. The ratings will definitely be a frenzy." In the morning, watching the demure morning light slowly rise, it is an excited child, "I have contacted my partners in more than a dozen cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago yesterday. If it is really possible to broadcast, then they will send representatives. Come over, and then organize a party to watch it together when the TV actually airs."

When Elaine Brook was busy, it was obvious that Elena and Jia Siming were not idle either.

Today's party is the meeting of the New York branch of the Evan Bell Fan Club, and Elena Jasmine and Elaine Brook, as important fans across Los Angeles and New York, naturally have a very important position. One conclusion can be drawn from the information in their mouths: the first wave of Evan Bell's new album release is coming.
