The only pic I could find of the L platform, but it sort of works.
I ran across an interesting story from the New York City News Service a while ago. Basically it says what most New Yorkers could easily guess; the Bedford Ave. stop off of the L Train is the number one spot in the city for Missed Connections postings on Craigslist. These things are my new favorite reads, (as a spectator only, I’ve not fallen to those depths of desperation yet). Sometimes the shit on them is too good:
“You were tall, dark and handsome - plain and simple - in a blue cowboy-style shirt, short running shorts and flip-flops…
“I was scruffy, blue cap, green shirt, jeans, reading some steinbeck.”
“You had a beard , thin and kinda tall, great clothes, and talking on your phone…”
These posts really narrow it down for Williamsburg, eh?
I knew a dude who used to basically search every spot he’d visited the day before on there every day at work. He definitely found himself alot and would actually date chicks off of it. Shit boggles my mind.
That trend will go great with this one, from AFP:
“One in four adults living in New York City has the virus that causes genital herpes.”
Yup.
