By: Gabriela Yareliz There is this 1 train that has a set of doors that don’t work. The local stop side opens fine, so you get on and don’t suspect a thing.

Ideas for NYC: Open Letter #4
Dear Eric Adams (NYC Mayor), We need to discuss the bridges and tunnels. Let’s start with the bridges. The Macy’s Firework Show on July 4th utilized the Brooklyn Bridge nicely. The best part of the show was the American flag waterfalling off of the Brooklyn Bridge. The projections on the Brooklyn Bridge were fun andContinue reading “Ideas for NYC: Open Letter #4”
Morning Trains

Strangely, even in the darkness, there is art and all kindsContinue reading “Dark Tunnels”
