Okay, let’s take a quick moment in a appreciation of the rather impressive subway system that exists in the basement on New York. It really is a wonder. But here’s the but, the subway is dirty and smelly. Fortunately I am able to extend my disbelief and imagine what the subway was like in it’s hay day. The stations have tiled walls and I envision them to have been quite beautiful once upon a time. However, that time has slipped into the past. Despite all the grime, the subway is still enticing and oddly magnificent.
