When Trains Go Loco, Tourists Get Confused (Monday, 5-9-11)

Two Euro tourists trying to figure out what the hell is happening when an a Q train goes local to Manhattan, running on the R line. Blankly studying the map, they then exited at Rector or City Hall, most likely not their intended destination. Hopefully there was an H&M nearby.

Intense Faces and Blank Gazes on the N Train (Tuesday, 5-3-11)


F Train from 14th street/6th Ave (Monday, 5-2-11)

Dad from a dad-mom-college age son trio. They all had a very severe look like you couldn't believe they ever smiled or were happy. Looked like mom and pops were probably from South Asia and visiting the boy at college - at least thats the vibe I got.

Monday Morning Waiting on the Q at 7th Ave and Flatbush (5-2-11)

Women with Red Tints on the Q (Wednesday, 4-27-11)

Two very different styled ladies but both with an added twinge of unnatural red in their hair. For that brief ride their universes converged - perhaps they shared some styling tips.

Uptown to Check the Mail (Tuesday, 4-27-11)

Being the passover shlepper that I am, had to run uptown after work to check the rents mail whilst they frolic in the holy land. Woman in bright pink puffy jacket amongst the riders of the uptown 5 train.

Back up at 86th street (Lexington) waiting on my ride back to the BK.

Observing an Awkward Conversation of Middle Aged Men on the R (Monday, 4-25-11)

Seemed somewhat one sided, discussing work and financial planning, seems like they had just struck up conversation - which seemed somewhat one sided with the guy on the left yapping and guy on the right not really looking up and responding with a seemingly unintelligible grumble - on the train, and didn't really know each otherwise. It went on for a few stops then devolved into an awkward silence.
