Those garden houses used to be residences for celebrities. Former Chinese premier Zhou Enlai has lived at No. 73 Sinan Road, which is a Spanish-style garden house. Moreover, Chinese Peking opera artist Mei Langfang and Chinese modern democratic revolutionaries Sun Yat-sen and his wife Soong Ching-ling also have lived in Sinan Road. These residences are still well preserved and can be visited.
Collegiate Church of St Nicholas, located in no. 16 in Gaolan Road,

Many were former residences of celebrities such as poet Liu Yazi (1887-1958) and Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang (1894-1961). Some have been converted into hotels, cafes, restaurants and shops.

走近复兴公园,回望百年沧桑:
复兴公园位于法国梧桐掩映的复兴中路北侧,是一座历史悠久的公园,是上海唯一一座保留法国古典式风格的园林,有上海的“卢森堡公园”之美誉,也是近代上海中西园林文化交融的杰作。复兴公园于1908年由法租界公董局筹建,由法国园艺师柏勃(Papot)按法国园林特色进行设计,整个公园以规则式园林布局为主,偏西南部递变呈自然式。复兴公园几经历史变迁,园内保留了百年悬铃木、沉床花坛、玫瑰园、马恩雕像等特色景区,植物种类达170多种。2007年,公园经过了整体改造,其独特的历史风貌和人文景观得到了提升和保护,更加焕发出法式园林的气息和神韵。
孙中山故居:
在上海繁华的淮海路以南,思南路东侧的香山路上,坐落着一幢欧洲乡村式样的小洋房,这就是我国伟大的民主革命先行者孙中山先生和夫人宋庆龄在上海的寓所。
思南书局诗歌店:
在旧教堂里打造全上海最动人的书店 - 思南书局诗歌店 / Wutopia Lab
Wutopia Lab 以“Church in church”概念在上海历史建筑圣尼古拉斯教堂旧址里用45吨钢铁打造了旧教堂里的新书店——思南书局诗歌店。这是上海最大最全面的专业诗歌书店,提供1000册不同语言的诗集。诗歌店设计延续了Wutopia Lab基于对偶形成的一贯的魔幻现实主义风格:穿孔钢板,半透明,不确定的光线,色彩以及戏剧性的诗意。
······
掩映在高大法国梧桐浓荫下的思南路,是一条浪漫气息浓郁的马路。
思南路原名马斯南路(Rue Massenet),始筑于1914年。在1912年8月13日,法国一位著名音乐家Massener在巴黎去世。为纪念他,法租界公董局就将此路命名为Rue Massenet ——即马斯南路。
思南路马路两侧满是阴翳的法国梧桐和精美的洋房。思南路除了拥有当年法租界上小马路的共同特征外,还有着不同于其它马路的独特吸引力:二十几幢花园式洋房,集中了老上海近乎全部的民居样式——是城市历史的活话本。
思南公馆是上海市中心唯一一个以成片花园洋房的保留保护为宗旨的项目,坐拥51栋历史悠久的花园洋房,已成为上海城中新奢地标。上海优秀历史建筑保护项目之一。思南公馆内坐拥51栋历史悠久的花园洋房,同时汇聚了独立式花园洋房、外廊式建筑、花园里弄等多种建筑样式 。·这里曾经是上海上流社会的汇聚之所,周恩来、柳亚子、梅兰芳等名流都曾在此居住。
电影《爱神》《小时代3》,都曾在思南公馆取景,毕竟思南公馆随手一拍便是风景。

COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
Building Agents with Microsoft Foundry
We will show a variety of methods for building agents that run in Microsoft Foundry. This covers the different types of agents: Prompt, Multi, and Hosted, as well as the development lifecycle using evals and traces.
