I finally committed to a college and I'm really happy about it
do any of my followers attend the performing arts conservatory at point park (or point park in general)? I got a full ride and I am highly considering going there but would love an insider's perspective of the school
Chattanooga, TN (6): Point Park
Another interesting area in the Lookout Mountain neighborhood. The city had several major Civil War battles occur within it. In this area The Battle of Lookout Mountain took place on November 24, 1863. Despite having the advantage of higher ground, the Confederate army was routed by Union forces, completely opening the path for General Sherman to march into GA unchecked.
The park still has several cannons all around it. I should note the red and white tablets were commissioned by the Civil War vets who fought in the battle, as a means of historical preservation. But it’s not all CSA fare here! That monument is the New York Peace Monument, dedicated to all NY Union military units who fought at Lookout Mountain. It also shows a Union and Confederate soldier shaking hands at the top.
As for that castle like structure, a photographer and publisher of the Chattanooga Times, Adolph Ochs built this place as a photography studio. It now has a lot of neat old photos and historical info inside it. Though the front end is currently being renovated.
Dr. Albert McLean, Point Park University, 1975.
La Cigarra - June 2024 I wandered down one of the dirt paths while Kathy waited for me on the main asphalt path at Point Park. Kathy excitedly called me over as a 17-year Cicada landed on the tree in front of her. I was taking a couple of quick images as it sorted out its wings and started climbing up the tree. As we were bent over watching the cicada, a woman from Colombia asked us what we were watching. I told her it was a cicada and she had to look that up on her phone. Suddenly her face lit up. “Oh,” she said, “La Cigarra.” They are somewhat common in Colombia and there is even a song about them but she had never actually seen one. She also took several images with her phone that she said she was going to send back to friends back in Colombia. I looked up the song. It is sung by Linda Ronstadt and basically is a lament that when the song ends La Cigarra dies. Evidently it has special meaning in the Latin culture. MWM
