The only blog written from the NYC Subway system

For those of you (and there are many) not fortunate enough to visit Washington, DC and ride the Metro, here’s what you’re missing. Granted, it doesn’t go everywhere like the NYC subway does.  And you have to pay based on how far you ride.  Otherwise, the Metro is beautiful. Just look in this video at [...]

We were reminded today by NYCtheBlog that the MTA regularly sells off stuff that they no longer want including your lost and found items.  Then again, I guess if you never claim your lost items, they really aren’t yours anymore but I digress. You can buy everything from toll lane scrubbers (little Zamboni looking things), [...]

The Kia Motors and NBA Tip Off Celebration Event in Union Square is this week.  They’re setting up a basketball court, have a DJ, yadda yadda.  There will be current and former players there too apparently. It’s all coming up on October 28th. A publicist for the event says, “To say the least, it-is-going-to-be-insane.” Perhaps. [...]

SUBWAYblogger is getting reports that an officer was shot in the subway in Queens. Sources tell us that at least one cop was shot.  A second officer was also injured and taken to the hospital.  Not sure if that officer was shot as well. The suspect(s) are in custody and are also reported to have [...]

I’m going to open myself up to a ton of criticism here, because I’m sure I probably made fun of someone for this at some point in the past.  Here we go anyway… So I got a new work bag to carry my laptop and whatnot.  My other one started to rip where the shoulder [...]
