Fun story in yesterday’s Times about what surrounds the 24 last stops on the NYC subway system. The reporters do a very good job in gathering interesting details, from the excessive hand-waver at Station Plaza in Queens, to the sad fate of the domestic turtles at on Shore Road Park in Brooklyn, to the battling Statues of Liberty in lower Manhattan.
“The Curious World of the … Last Stop” effectively details what’s becoming a forgotten New York–the city beyond one-bedrooms in doorman buildings going for $3,460 and the arduous task of scoring a table at the Waverley Inn–a city where it’s still legal to shoot a freak–and smoke a J before doing it.
