(December 15) It was a very cold and windy day, but I decided to walk around a little and headed south from Penn Station on the west side. Eventually I had to head east so I could get to Madison Ave. in the Lennox Hill area. This was to be my only walk around the city during the holiday season.
The reindeer have gotten smaller in this recession.
I’ve been meaning to get photos of this station before.

I’m not feeling this like I used to, but I go because Pete wants to, and I need to escape every now and then.
I walk down here a lot, even when I don’t have a train to catch.

Unlike most days, it wasn’t crowded.
I think I was only in the city twice in December.
Viza and I took a short stroll through Amtrak’s part of Penn Station.
I found some more subway mosaics to add to my collection.
Unfortunate train connections at Stony Brook.
I never take the subway for grocery shopping anymore, it’s just not worth spending $4.50 or even $2.25
You talkin to me, crazy sign person?
Just looking at this allegedly sent Tony into sugar shock.
Here’s some of what was going on this night.
There’s a lot more I haven’t really gotten a good look at yet, even though I pass it all the time.
