We have been anticipating our trip to the abandoned City Hall subway station for a couple of months now. We are going today! There’s a nice write up on the stop at Forgotten NY. Can’t wait! You have to join the Subway Museum to go.
Being a city-dweller, I was a fan of congestion pricing to reduce traffic, but I understand why it could not pass for NYC in the state capitol. Nonetheless I like the stick-to-it-ness of the mayor to find ways to make the city greener.
The City is a playground. Art is all around. Good ideas abound. Huckleberry is a hound.
Last weekend I was walking home and saw that one of the stores in my neighborhood had been cloned and flattened. I greatly enjoyed the marketing prank and looked forward to the punch line the next day, not yet sure what they were selling. Sure enough, the butcher was back on Monday, it’s full dimensionality entact, albeit a little eyesore in the window completing the marketing. A lot of work for the few who saw it, but I appreciated my glimpse.

You’d think people would recognize that when there is a swarm of people coming up the subway stairs, it means that a train has recently arrived. Which also usually means that same train has left the station, so there is no reason for them to go down the stairs until everyone else has exited. But the people don’t seem to realize this and it just isn’t going to happen.
It’s a beautiful day in New York. We like everyone else, seemed to be out walking. We went through quite a few bottles of water. And then just threw them in the trash.
