in response to the august 19th, 2005 tornado hoax

Peter: the whole trainspotting/railfan phenomenon fascinates me... we have it here in nyc, too, but on a much smaller scale... i bet most people wouldnt even know what you were talking about. but, categorizing all the trains is easier here- theyre all in one city, they all bear easy-to-read numbered placcards, etc... check...

Jamie: What an interesting little story. I'm from peterborough :-) I've heard there is talk of redevelopment of the station quarter of the city. New apartments and offices etc and a new station of course with underground parking. I don't live there anymore, but hey, you remember queensgate when it was...

Peter: I do that with the shuttle train where it surfaces up near the brooklyn botanic garden, and also where it crosses park place in prospect heights (like in this entry)... i love watching them go by. at the park place shuttle, the road dips under the tressle, so if you...

Peter: theres plenty of pirate radio at the low end of the dial, jack, and it varies from area to area. though id imagine its probably a bit modern for your tastes, its at least good to see that some folks dont hesitate to take things into their own hands ;)

in response to Albuquerque Graffiti Flood

jack: in brooklyn we had the sea beach line which was under ground but opened above. so you could peep through the cement blocks on the street above and watch the trains go by. it amused us kids for at least 3 minutes.

in response to Abandoned Bus Shelter

jack: peter, you awaken many memories when you mention coney and stillwell. i grew up in 50's gravesend. my family moved from bay 13th and bath to gravesend. i walked many times from boody jr. high to stillwell to go to the spumoni gardens. the projects were...

in response to Brooding and Almost Disappearing, in Color

Me: Is that really supposed 2 be a bus shelter? It looks like a prison or something!

in response to Disappearing Skyscraper

jack: strange things happen to a person when they walk down those steps into the subway. the mind begins to think of strange things. your thoughts become more sexual. when you go up in the el your thoughts become more loftier, higher and brighter and happier. its...

in response to Untitled

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: This is almost a robot building with lots of eyes and broad shoulders. If you have a cold with the snuffles, are you allowed to lick the zinc facade? More Iowa please. (Peter, Bzzzp, Barry, Sine, GGP, is this a five boroughs citynoise roadtrip destination?)

in response to University of Iowa Engineering Building

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Caught out. Found out. Revealed. Caught commiting a 'crime'. You secret has been discovered. It was meant in a friendly way. A small joke.

in response to John\'s Grocery

Peter: pi? i dont get it... xz/ram/whatever... some of your comments/posts are obtusely abstract. theyre sort of alienating.
