Gold sparkling in the sun. Crunchy batter sliding past my lips. Southern spices exciting my tongue. I was dreaming of eating the catfish at Little Jewel of New Orleans. Now that I’m here my will is weak.
According to tales and legends, the beginning of the Chinese New Year started with a mythical beast called the Nian. Nian would eat villagers, especially children. To protect themselves, the villagers would put food in front of their doors at the beginning of every year. It was believed that after the Nian ate the food they prepared, it wouldn’t attack any more people. One day, a villager decided to get revenge on the Nian. A god visited him and told him to put red paper on his house and to place firecrackers. The villagers then understood that the Nian was afraid of the color red. When the New Year was about to come, the villagers would wear red clothes, hang red lanterns, and red spring scrolls on windows and doors. People also used firecrackers to frighten away the Nian. From then on, Nian never came to the village again. The Nian was eventually captured by Hongjun Laozu, an ancient Taoist monk. The Nian became Hongjun Laozu’s mount.

Neon glow drives back the shadow
Reminder of day.
I love the bright colors pushing back the night. There use to be more neon signs. A few are saved like the Neon Majorette sign. http://www.sohosandiego.org/reflections/2001-3/baton.htm
