Concord, Walks & Talks by Bill Anderson

In walking talking videos, Bill Anderson reveals the Springtime re-awakening in Concord. First, the revolutionary fervor, then, the spirituality of lush green trees in a Cemetery Walk down along Concord Massachussets' Main Street, known as The Milldam. When Concord was settled, the mill pond and flowing waters draining out of the fertile lowlands, cut Concord in two, and custom did not allow the people to carry deceased bodies over running waters, so there were two cemeteries. Later, the overflow lead to a third back ground cemetery, which even later became a 19th century burying ground fashioned after the Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, known for it's natural beauty. The important thing about Concord's Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is the Author's Ridge site for Ralph Waldo Emerson's grave and other authors and influential people of the Transcendental Period. His literary company are close-by, the Alcotts, Hawthorne, Thoreau, and others. Concord is no ghost when it comes to energy, see Charlie Koch, son of architect Karl Koch, who transformed the landscape of Concord with an innovative development called Conantum, bring to the Main Street Market the energy of movement! here The visual commentary is by definition an eyeying.
