Moving south from Washington Street, the Orange Line cuts through a fascinating cross section of the city. After Essex, the Orange Line is elevated, and the old wooden trestle winds like a drunk through rows of three-deckers, sturdy brick houses with bay windows and modern subdivisions. Be sure to stand at the window in the front of the train next to the engineer's compartment so you can look right out on the tracks. You can chart rising land values by looking at how close new subdivisions come to the trestle--the closer the homes, the more expensive...
Such a consistent winning record would be an achievement for any large university; for Tennessee State, it is nothing short of remarkable. Just 5,000 students (600 of them white) attend T.S.U.'s red brick campus on the banks of the Cumberland River in Nashville.

From there, though, Sha Na Na heads off onto a whole new tangent that is more theater than concert. The second act, "Sha Na Na Hits the Street," features props and backdrop assimilating a New York streetscape, complete with lit lamp post, brick wall scrawled with initials and obcenities, and a clothesline dangling scraggly threads. Act two then moves to a hop and ends with a dance contest emced by Bowzer in which three members of the band choose partners from the audience...
...student refers to Harvard as the "Vatican" of Cambridge. The University's red-brick buildings are often mistaken for ivory towers by students who find all their needs satisfied by Harvard's own resources...
