Rush Hour


I had an amazing day today.  Went to the city to see a huge photographic exhibition by Diane Arbus, who died in 1971.  It was at the Park Avenue Armory which I have never been in.  So I am doing this backwards - this is rush hour on my ride home and man, was Jamaica station packed.  That's where I change trains - from electric to diesel to get back home.  I left the city on a 4:25 train and I couldn't believe the crowd.  Everything ran well and I was back in Sea Cliff by 5:30.  So I will be doing this backwards, and show you some photographs of the Armory, a historic building in Manhattan.  Then some photographs of the exhibition.

I'm happy you had an amazing day and know that you love going into the City, but I do not love crowds on trains or trying to cross the streets in NY City.

I go to the city fairly often, but this is the first time I have been in a crowd like this! everyone was orderly and took their turn so it was a good experience, fortunately. Glad I never had to do this every day.

Yikes! That’s a lot of people in a small space. Thank goodness the commuters were orderly. Good thing you don’t usually travel at rush hour. Betsey
