Subways are a mixed bag.
They’re hot in the summer , cold in the winter, crowded, noisy, and often dangerous.
Sort of like a microcosm of New York, ain’t it?
But they are the fastest way to get places in NY.
Ever since I was a little kid my dad would let me stand at the front of the train at the window so I could see the neighborhoods as they went by.
I loved to ride them. Every day was a new adventure. The variety of people and the unplanned interactions in the close confines replaced my interest in the neighborhoods outside.
