Wish I could take the subway up state
So tonight I had to go rent a car for Thanksgiving travel. Unfortunately, I didn’t know that every garage in my neighborhood was going to be filled to capacity.
Where the hell did all these cars come from? There’s no room in the garages, and there’s no room to park on the streets. I drove around for an hour before I found a space. It’s insane.
Makes me glad I don’t actually own a car in the city. I don’t know what I would do if I had to deal with this crap everyday.
Now if only we could get the subway to run up state, I’d be in much better shape. Instead, I’ll be battling the girdlock alert day.
I did see bleachers set up along the parade route already. They have a bunch right outside my work subway entrance.
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

What kind of car did you rent?
Replyit’s called metro north and it’s lovely if you ride up the hudson line…
Reply@s p: Thank you wise ass.
I meant like $2.00 and I’m there…just like a normal ride anywhere in the city. But yes, MetroNorth is great…if only they went where I am going.
@George: It’s a VW Jetta or Passat. I honestly didnt pay close enough attention.
ReplyI remember in 2006 we tried to find a rental car for Thanksgiving, this took around five hours, we finally ended up with a VW Jetta that broke down halfway through our journey… lol
ReplyI tried the hudson line … it works… smile
