Journal 4 - Mass Transit, boy do I miss it. 

9/2/2012

 
Picture
Before I left Brooklyn I went to the Transit Museum, I took this picture from one of the older subway cars they have on display.

When I had the subway system, I didn't appreciate it. It was a place to read the New Yorker and not breathe in too deeply because the smelly guy is going to stand right in front of you.

I hate driving and now I have to do it. I'd rather be reading the New Yorker. Again this has nothing to do with what we discussed in class, but this is what I'm thinking about and so this is what I'm writing about. I miss subways and buses. I miss a chance to watch people. I miss that people would run because they could "feel" their train coming. I even miss the G train. one of the worst trains in the entire subway system.

I wish Columbus had a monorail...there I said it.
