I have been inundated with questions about what the name of my blog means! Well, OK, actually one person (a "significant" person, at that) asked me that question. But by extrapolation, if thousands of people were following my blog, I figure I would now be inundated.
No, I don't sell jewelry, although that might be a more profitable use of this space. And I'm not writing about the TV show Lost, although I was a fan: Pearl Station was one of the underground facilities built by the DHARMA Initiative. Google it, if you're curious.
Actually, I chose "Pearl Station" as the name of my classical music blog because that's the DART station where I disembark from the light rail train to take the pleasant, three-block walk to the Meyerson Symphony Center, the Winspear Opera House or any of the other venues and attractions in the Dallas Arts District. The station is on -- you guessed it -- Pearl Street in downtown Dallas.
I'm just not sure if I should be distraught, elated or indifferent to the fact that a mere two weeks after the debut of this blog, Dallas Area Rapid Transit is renaming Pearl Station to Pearl/Arts District Station. The latter seemed a tad too bulky for a blog name, so the old one is now enshrined in cyberspace.
Another train...good grief.
