168th Street
[previous] :: [next]A business commitment forced me out into the cold yesterday and up from Brooklyn to Northern Manhattan. Columbia Presbyterian is there; a complex of historic old buildings and new ones. Dr. Bruce must be a pretty special dude. How's this for a nice bit of corporate culture? (That's an oxymoron, by the way.) The subway station is pretty cool as well. I get hot for these old lamps. This article has been viewed 10081 times in the last 7 years Myke: 8th Dec 2005 - 20:42 GMTI'm totally with you on the lamps. That subway station is really interesting! Peter: 8th Dec 2005 - 20:54 GMTawesome! i used to work at columbia presbyterian! i got off at the 1/9 station at 168th every day :) manm, waiting for the crowds to file outta those huge elevators was a truly weird experience. Peter: 8th Dec 2005 - 20:57 GMTalso: the weird thing is that there's still a homeless shelter in the ground level/basement of the armory. it was odd to come out of work when they were having a big track/field meet and see the homeless guys tweaking out or panhandling the crowds of college coeds jogging up and down 168th and fort. washington to warm up... theres a movie (www.imdb.com/title/tt0108026 GGP: 8th Dec 2005 - 21:10 GMTi came uncomfortably close to an anxiety attack waiting for that damn elevator to come. Peter: 8th Dec 2005 - 21:14 GMTi really wish i had some photos of it when it was packed during the morning rush. an elevator the size of a van filled with 100 people... in teh summertime, it got up to like 120 in there, hahaha. Myke: 8th Dec 2005 - 22:45 GMTUgh, that elevator sounds worse than the ones they have at the Covent Garden tube station in London. The first time I went in there I took the stairs having not noticed the sign saying how far it was to walk down (and potentially dangerous). jack: 9th Dec 2005 - 01:21 GMTcolumbia presbyterian, the best hospital in new york. those huge light bulbs remind me of this girl i once knew... Peter: 9th Dec 2005 - 04:34 GMTaha! theres a rumor (urban legend?) that there was a "speakeasy" in-between the two floors of that elevator back in the prohibition days that a special "heyword" to the operator got you into. its too late now, but ill track down the documentation for this story tomorrow so you can decide for yourself... joey: 9th Dec 2005 - 04:34 GMTthat last picture looks like the place they filmed the movie 'escape from new york' Peter: 9th Dec 2005 - 04:35 GMTalso, jack: CPMC is indeed one of the better hospitals in nyc... at least they didnt kill warhol, like new york presbyterian did ;) wheatster: 11th Dec 2005 - 00:06 GMTback in the day mad bumz lived on the stair wellz n it stunk 168 st to the local layups Comment on this article..[previous] :: [next] |
