A Touch of China in South Bethlehem
Sponsored primarily by Lehigh University, this project is an effort to build closer ties with the Bethlehem community. Pavilions are found in all cultures and are considered places of rest and reflection along the path, or South Bethlehem Greenway, of life.
Tingyun Cao, age 21, (right) and Jennifer Zhu, age 24, (left) are two of the Lehigh students working on this welcome respite for walkers and bicyclists.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
So...pay attention, Folks. And visit the site often. We will be instaling the tile roof and mosaic floor in the next few weeks in the Authentic Chinese style.
ReplyDeleteMark your calenders for November first for the dedication. We're hoping to have representatives from the Chinese Embassy. We will definately be having the Wizard of New Zealand (Google him, he's for real) there to officiate.
I wish you well. However, the "south siders", will soon use it as a urinal or probably graffitit tyhe place.
ReplyDeleteI hope not and Bernie will protect you from this harsh reality but good luck anyway.
I was on the Greenway for the first time on Friday. Was there again today. What I could not get over was (1) how many people are using it; and (2) how clean it is.
ReplyDeleteIt could very well be that the large number of users (more than at Sand Island or the Palmer Bike Path) will deter others from ruining it.
Let's hope you're wrong.
I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so!
ReplyDeleteI've been talking with a friend about how cities can help immigrants become part of the community. One of the ways to do so is by showing that longtime members of the community respect the newcomers' culture. Respect goes both ways--show someone that you welcome them, and they'll probably become a lot more willing to learn about the culture of the country they now reside in. :)
