This Is Where I Work

Well not literally. I don't work at the or for the subway. But if you were to take the subway to where I work, this is where you would take it to.

New Ideas

I had an idea today for a new blog. I don't plan on ending this one, but the new blog would be more of a project. This new idea, however, will probably end up in the 'idea' pile I have which exceeds the 'accomplished' infinitely.

I also did some reading about the MTA today. I was curious about abandoned subway stations after seeing one used in the plot of a show. I found out there are several ranging from entire stations either closed or never used after being built, to lower or upper levels closed off from a station. It seems as though this was an area a Columbia student focused on as there is a site hosted on Columbia's servers detailing all of these stations, some with pictures.

This led me to find out how many subway stations there are in the New York area. How many do you think it is? I was surprised myself to find out there are 468 functioning subways stations. Crazy.
