Fulton Street Station

author: Peter : New York, NY

This is the Queens-bound J/M subway platform at Fulton Street where I catch the train back to Brooklyn each day... New York, NY...

Each day, I commute through the World Trade Center site to connect from the subway to the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) train... Vesey street and Greenwich, with signs indicating detours and the constantly changing traffic flow due to reconstruction... Heading east, braving the flow of oncoming commuters headed back to New Jersey... you cana see the spire of

Feeling Sixy?

One for the Google-bot... After this post got spidered by Google, we started getting a noticeable amount of traffic from people searching for the word sixy (or sixy girl or sixy photo, etc) as apparently many non-English-speaking visitors confuse this almost-homonymous word with sexy, and apparently have surfed here looking for porn.
