No Service
May 28, 2010 | Filed Under New York Subway Life, Subway Stations | 11 Comments

There’s nothing more annoying than finding that the train won’t stop at the station that you plan on using. This week, it happened to me at least three times. I had to get out of the station and take a crowded bus the rest of the way to my destination or take another train past my desired stop and then get on another train to bring me back. So annoying. Despite the convenience, the city keeps moving.

Ed. Note: Kudos to those who noticed the billboard sign, Royal Pains, in the background (You guys don’t miss a thing.). It accurately describes a commuter’s feelings when the subway isn’t running 100%. I did notice it but didn’t have a chance to comment on it. This post should be entitled, Royal Pains. Very appropriate.

Taking people places. This subway runs above ground for a few blocks before going underground again.

The train came from this station pictured here on 125th Street in Harlem.
MOTION THURSDAY. Check it out and post your own photo of a subject in motion. Join in on the fun!

After the Game

Subway station near the New York Yankees stadium.

After a Yankee game, folks are heading home.

Someone put a Yankee shirt rain poncho over a pole on the sidewalk. I think it’s safe to say the person is a Yankee fan.
Life has been getting in the way of my blogging fun. So, I’m going to try things differently. Instead of blogging everyday, I’ll blog once or twice a week. I’ll try to continue visiting other blogs. Let’s see how that works. Have a good Monday, everyone.
Happy Blogging!

Subway Ride, Anyone?

First Snow Storm in the City
December 19, 2008 | Filed Under Harlem, Neighborhoods, New York Subway Life, Seasons, Snow, Subway Folks, Subway Stations, Subway Trains, Winter | 14 Comments

I like the snow when I’m watching it from the comfort of my home. Otherwise, I don’t like it much. It’s a pain for me to travel in it, like today. Today, I took the bus and the train. The bus sucked. It was late and when it finally arrived, just before it got to my bus stop, it got stuck on the bottom of the hill. Another bus got into a traffic accident. Eventually, a third bus came along and I was able to get on it.
After my bus ride, I took the train and managed to take these photos. The lady in the first photo just missed her train. She could only watch it leave without her.

In the meantime, the snow started to come down harder and faster.

Despite the snowy weather, thankfully, the trains seemed to run better than the buses.
Thanks, Amy of The Heart of a Seed for passing along this award. In turn, I’d like to pass it to all you lovely bloggers reading this post right now. I so enjoy your lovely blogs. Thank you!
