110th Street (Columbia University area) Multiple Stabbing

September 12, 2007 | 3 Comments

 
I was up at Columbia this afternoon, and heading to the train on my way home.  I happened to be closer to the 110th Street station, so I headed in that direction (versus the 116th stop).
Quickly, realized that was a bad idea.  The place was crawling with NYPD and rescue.  From the look of it, [...]

Surf the Web — Not the Train

September 12, 2007 | 3 Comments

Words of wisdom from the MTA that escaped some dude recently.
AMNY Tracker reports that today’s morning Q train snafu was due to a subway surfer.  No, not some idiot riding inside the train pretending to surf down the middle of the isle.  No, instead it is usually a rider on top of (as in the [...]

High School Kids: They’re Back

September 5, 2007 | Leave a Comment

I think the high school population in my neighborhood doubled this year.  Today, there were waaaay more kids waiting for the train than last year.

I think the high school kids are finally gone for the summer! They might have been gone for a week or more now, but I am just noticing how much less crowded certain trains are.
There’s a particular time in the morning where it seems that most of the high school kids go to catch the [...]

April 26, 2007 | 5 Comments

OMG.  I don’t even know where to begin to describe my morning commute today.  It was so stressful, that I couldn’t even write about as I was witnessing it.  Not to mention, it was so crowded that I could barely move my arms.  If I had managed to pull my BlackBerry out to write, I [...]

Here’s why strollers shouldn’t be on the subway

April 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Finally, someone makes my case for me without even knowing it.  This happens more than most people notice, but it’s exactly what is getting in the way of the rest of us.
Example:
The 6 train has been my subway for over 10 years, so it’s quite embarrassing that it took the station manager’s voice finally announcing [...]

Ahh yes, get them started young

Yes, that’s right, that was a 2 year old you saw board the 7 train by himself.  He’s a busy man.  He’s got places to go, and other babies to see.  He doesn’t have time for his mom to get her act together.  No no, he’s going with or without her.
