City Ride

Thanks to Steve for sending: “These are very rare and surprising to see anywhere outside of China.

The N701 first appeared publicly in July 2022, when Xi Jinping traveled to Hong Kong. Contemporary reporting indicated that Hongqi/FAW planned to construct only about 50 examples over a ten-year period. It isn’t offered for ordinary retail sale.”

Sweet City Ride is made possible by the Friends of the PoPville Sauntering Society! Send your sightings to [email protected] thanks!

Transit

Thanks to Peter for sending above: “In biking and painting news, 11th St NW north of U St NW actively transforming right now! From 11th and W St NW…. it’s part of the bike lane extension they’ve been working for years.

It’s supposed to be all southbound from Florida to S St. However, it’s a bit of a free for all right now (lots of games if chicken! MD drivers of course)” (more…)


Event

The evening ranges freely across the American songbook, threading together the theater music of Sondheim, Rodgers and Hart, Bernstein, and Weill with the songs of Ives, Barber, and Liebermann, and the setting of poets as distinct as E. E. Cummings, Langston Hughes, and Allen Ginsberg. It’s a program that moves with ease between the bright patter of numbers like “The What-Cha-Ma-Call-It” and the aching intimacy of “Lonely House”—music that captures both the exuberance and the tenderness at the heart of the American voice.

Bliss brings to this repertoire a voice of exceptional beauty — bright, focused, and capable of extraordinary refinement — along with a natural feel for the wit, swagger, and vulnerability this music demands, whether he’s channeling Sondheim’s restless “Being Alive,” or the sly nostalgia of “One for My Baby.” Expect an evening that is as much a portrait of a nation’s music as it is a showcase for one of the outstanding tenors of his generation.
