Inspired by Carson's own youthful defection from Columbus to New York, back in the mid-1930s, ten Columbus State University students and three faculty members left ye olde Richards Hall parking lot last Saturday afternoon, bound for the Big Apple where we'll spend three weeks immersing ourselves in all that is New York. Here's a photo of a few members of the group, in front of the Museum of the American Indian, which is housed in the old U.S. Customs House, an incredible space in and of itself:
Carson herself traveled by train from Columbus to Savannah, where she boarded a ship (as in BOAT) that took her to New York. We didn't quite re-enact that jaunt, but we did ride the CSU Cougar bus to Atlanta where we took an eight-hour AMTRAK ride to New York's Penn Station, and then cabs to our dorms at NYU.
Stay tuned for more photos and reports.
