As my eyes go along with the scenes under the drone camera, I keep on watching and thinking where I lived, walked or drove around the city, while I studied at UMass Lowell 17 years back. Now I realized that the city is actually more beautiful than I could remember it was before. Thanks a lot for the memory refreshing video.
So THIS is how the intro to "The Town and the City" really looks! Thank you for sharing. I'm sure Kerouac would've been amazed at how we can have an over ahead look at his hometown...all the way from here in Pennsylvania ; )
It looks beautiful, from this view. But, getting up close and personal to that river. Yuck! Lot's of chlorine is needed. It's surprising how organized it really is, though.
@@DailyDroneFPV I can't believe they have what they call a beach on the Pawtucket Blvd. side. I wouldn't swim in that if you paid me. I wouldn't even swim in Silver Lake in Wilmington, nowadays, and I grew up there.
Are you referring to the novel? I just googled this and the wikipedia description sounds like a vague yet accurate description of my life... haha I actually grew up in Dracut. Perhaps I am Kerouac incarnate? XD I have never heard of this novel until today. Also I recently filmed a glorious castle on a grassy hill in Lowell, located here: th-cam.com/video/Th-xnO2HIps/w-d-xo.html All too fitting. Here is the wiki description of Dr. Sax: "The novel begins with Jackie Duluoz, based on Kerouac himself, relating a dream in which he finds himself in Lowell, Massachusetts, his childhood home town. Prompted by this dream, he recollects the story of his childhood of warm browns and sepia tones, along with his shrouded childhood fantasies, which have become inextricable from the memories. The fantasies pertain to a castle in Lowell atop a muted green hill that Jackie calls Snake Hill. Underneath the misty grey castle, the Great World Snake sleeps. Various vampires, monsters, gnomes, werewolves, and dark magicians from all over the world gather to the mansion with the intention of awakening the Snake so that it will devour the entire world (although a small minority of them, derisively called "Dovists," believe that the Snake is merely "a husk of doves," and when it awakens it will burst open, releasing thousands of lace white doves. This myth is also present in a story told by Kerouac's character, Sal Paradise, in On the Road). The eponymous Doctor Sax, also part of Jackie's fantasy world, is a dark but ultimately friendly figure with a shrouded black cape, an inky black slouch hat, a haunting laugh, and a "disease of the night" called Visagus Nightsoil that causes his skin to turn mossy green at night. Sax, who also came to Lowell because of the Great World Snake, lives in the forest in the neighboring town of Dracut, where he conducts various alchemical experiments, attempting to concoct a potion to destroy the Snake when it awakens. When the Snake is finally awakened, Doctor Sax uses his potion on the Snake, but the potion fails to do any damage. Sax, defeated, discards his shadowy black costume and watches the events unfold as an ordinary man. As the Snake prepares to destroy the world, all seems lost until an enormous night colored bird, an ancient counterpart of the Snake, suddenly appears. Seizing the Snake in its beak, the bird flies upward into the heartbreakingly blue sky until it vanishes from view, leading the amazed Sax to muse, "I'll be damned, the universe disposes of its own evil!" " Thank you for the post.
@@DailyDroneFPV Yes, adore the Novel and its vivid, childhood descriptions of Lowell, the Merrimack and Dracut. Being English, Kerouac brought me right into the heart of Lowell, its people. its neighbourhoods, streets and houses - to me, Lowell will always have a magical, dream like quality. Though considerably smaller, it also has some similarities to my home city of Manchester, England :) Red brick buildings and the textile industry etc. I hope one day to visit his grave there and personally thank Jack Kerouac for changing my life. And perhaps the castle you filmed belonged to Count Condu himself :)
