The only blog written from the NYC Subway system

Editor’s note:  Todd is a guest blogger from Blog Name Removed.  On Wednesday March 14th, I posted my list of Annoying Subway people. I got a lot of fun responses to the list, so I planned on doing a follow-up. But then I thought about it. I thought, “Am I mocking other people because I [...]

I’ve got some stuff to get off my chest, and that stuff is Annoying Subway People!  Let’s go by categories: 1.  Zig-Zaggers.  These are the people who can’t walk a straight line tosave their life.  They weave back and forth and eventually make it to where they’re going.  Is it indecision?  Is it lack of [...]

SUBWAYblogger isn’t the only crazy one using the subway as a center subject matter. Cully from the blog A Child of Atom sketches the people he sees on the NYC Subway. His stuff is really cool. This is one of his most recent sketches. I thought it was hard to type a complete posting in [...]
