in new york central park, on the sunday after his death, thousands showed up for a vigil.ple of all kinds, but perhaps those of my generation in particular, look back on the night of december 8, 1980 with great sadness. 69—year—old lennon fan anne will never forget. it was a bad day. i heard it on the news and i didn't believe it. i had to listen to it again and again to make sure i wasn't dreaming. it was bad. it was a bad day. i felt as if someone from my own family had died and it was just so tragic. he was my hero, so i couldn't wait for the new album. and now that it was out again, starting over was playing and all these great songs. i was excited to hear his voice again, and then he was so sadly taken away from us. # imagine allthe people...# there was a palpable sense of loss, but why was the grief so extreme? it was definitely more pronounced than that brought on by the untimely death of other pop culture figures like whitney houston or michaeljackson. john lennon in a way connected very emotionally with his fans. people mostly know john through his music or some o

a small part of central park, a stone's throw from the dakota, dedicated to his memory.ther here often leaving flowers. that lennon's spirit is still alive is most evident in the appetite for his music, his lyrics, his songs. his thoughts. there is a whole generation that wasn't alive at the time he died that have become his fans. last year beatles songs were streamed online 1.7 billion times. almost half by people under 30. it is remarkable how many young people know about lennon. what is it that you like aboutjohn lennon's music in particular? do you like the words that he uses? yes, i like the words and i like the music. and i like the rhythm and how it goes together. i think that it's about something that is very important. he's got a reputation for being a man of peace and spirituality which i think speaks to that moment today in a fundamental way. i mean the song imagine, sort of a banner song of we are all trying to work for right now. and lennon isn'tjust engaging legions of young followers, he is also continued to influence musicians from the time he was alive r

in brooklyn, so far in central park, manhattan 6 and a half inches of snow. that is more snow than new york city saw in all of last winter but these freezing temperatures and snowfall creating havoc on the roads. on the hudson parkway new york city, a 19 car pileup causing some six people to the injured four seriously last night as cars slid into one another but new york city first responders, nypd have been out there, the commissioner tweeting out this photo thinking the nypd for being away from their families. they cannot work from home during these situations is the wind except. in pennsylvania look at this video just outside pittsburgh a truck sliding into the back of an ems vehicle, just barely missing some folks, three four people almost got hit by the car. a dangerous situation out there. more than 55,000 people are without power, mostly in virginia. some other power outages in pennsylvania and new jersey and we are talking about a situation of hundreds of canceled flights. in boston and newark, jfk and laguardia but back here in brooklyn you can see t

that's the latest from central park. i'm jay gray. that is my favorite kind of snow, on tv and not in the driveway. how about you? >> right? i used to live in connecticut, outside of new york city, and it was so bad when we had those huge snowstorms. but you think about right now, and a lot of people are staying at home so maybe they're actually really enjoying it if they don't have to get out in it. let's look at where that system is now as we can see it on radar, and there's still a lot of snow coming down. really, actually, a good thing, because they were in a pretty bad drought. seeing heavy snowfall totals will help them out. if it sticks around maybe they'll have a white christmas. as we look at our weather here in the bay area, we head all the way to the west coast and check out storm ranger. it looks all clear for now but it was busier this morning. rain moving through. for most of this, it was before we woke up this morning. i wanted to loop it back 12 hours and show you the round of rain that rolled through. maybe you heard

and we've already surpassed last year's entire snow total just in the last ten hours or so central park covered in white right now. the snow continuing to fall. we were here last night really since about sundone down. and shifting a bit to some sleet here and it is a mess really from the mid-atlantic through the east coast. 70 million people or more dealing with this winter storm not only talking about snow, you've got ice, a wintry mix causing multicar pileups, one of those turning deadly in pennsylvania unfortunately, two people died in a massive crash there. and then you've also got the issue of business. i talked to some hardware stores yesterday and they saw a bit of a boost. they are selling sleds, shovels, ice melt, things like that but otherwise across the board this is another gut punch for so many businesses that have been dealing with the pandemic. now this look at restaurants that were really essentially only takeout or, you know, dinout they are losing that for the next couple of days. just a rough go. >> yeah, you can sit outside if it is 45 degrees with a jacket on, they

it's a picturesque scene here in central park.g more snow than we did all of last winter. for many new yorkers, this is a welcome change in scenery. you see some of them behind me walking their dogs, taking pictures of central park. many of them have been cooped up inside their apartments since much earlier this year, since the pandemic began ravaging the city. this is a welcome change of pace for them. still, this is a very dangerous storm for some states. it's being blamed for at least four deaths across the east coast. tens of thousands of people are without power. major travel delays throughout pennsylvania. there was an incident where first responders were on the scene of an accident and had to rush out of the way as another car came careening into their vehicle. just a dramatic video captured on dash cam. thankfully no one was cereaseri injured there. hundreds of flights canceled today, rail service limited. here in new york at least it's a welcome change of pace for a city that's seen so much darkness this year. right now i

here's an example of central park. construction begins just before the civil war, and the idea was if you can't live outside of the city, at least you could get a taste of the country. so they may live in these kind of dirty cities, but they could have the benefit of fresh air, scenery, flora, most of which was imported, but nevertheless, seemed very natural. and wealthy folk could enjoy the curved paths that stood in stark contrast to the grid-like streets of manhattan. and as the 19th century continues and cities become larger and more industrialized, the notion that cities were diseased, filth-ridden, perverted places to live only grows. in fact, some doctors even begin to coin medical conditions. one is new york-itis, that affects people who live in new york who become morbid and disturbed by virtue of just living in the crowded, chaotic city with the cacophony, the noise and all of the people. and so late in the 19th century there are a lot of remedies for this, new parks, people fleeing the city maybe farther tha

this house was designed by one of the two people who designed central park. there's a lot of overlapping themes here. this is a big house, 5000 square feet, eight bedrooms only one bathroom. the idea that's epitomized here, it also a lot of early suburban architecture, was emphasized nature and its relationship to nature. they built this house for mr. warren, what was the treasury of some railroad company. they built it purposefully right on the hudson river. to take advantage of this beautiful view, natural splendor. and situated to houston away it was opening up to the river view. the big part of the rooms and said the house were at the back of the house, so they could see the water. he was a big dwight portrait of the backward the assume the residents would enjoy their summer enjoying the breeze and taking in the breathtaking view. you could also see of course, there's a garden, a yard emphasizing the space that could be had in the suburbs. much bigger house than most people are living in in the city. and one that was supposed to blend in with nature. vox

, there are a lot of remedies for this, new parks, people fleeing the city, maybe farther than central park but other parks or other natural landmarks. a lot of people are riding bicycles as a way to escape the city. and have some sense of nature outside. so the suburban kind of style really takes off after the civil war and people begin to emphasize having a detached home, an cottage style house, having fresh air, accessible space, a yard, a garden. and some of you mentioned had notion of suburbs being safe and family oriented. and that idea begins to take off in popularity, as well. we talked about earlier in the harriet beecher stow, the famous author. her sister actually becomes one of the leading proponents of suburbia in terms of thinking about these spaces as ideal for family, to raise a family and to encourage a kind of domestic feminism. and the suburban aesthetic is seen in a number of ways. we'll see one example here from a house in newburg, new york. this house was designed by calvert vox, who is one of the two people who designed central park. so there's a lot of overlapping th
