Just the other night, I watched as a girl at the West Side Y, probably in her late 20's somehow managed to squeeze out a full size suitcase from the tall but tiny lockers. I made a joke about how impressed I was and she told me she was visiting from Florida and visiting family out in Queens. She asked, "I was told I can take the 1-train at Columbus Circle, right?" I immediately advised her that yes, she should go to Columbus Circle, but get on the downtown B or D and go 1 stop where she could pick up the Queens-bound E train. You would've though I'd given her one of my kidneys, she was so grateful & appreciative. I felt I'd earned my gold star for the day As much as I may bitch about the tourists from time to time (Helloooo Times Square on a Saturday!) – I makes me feel good too when I’m able to help them, no matter where they’re from.

This is why I miss public transportation, all the little connections you make along the way. All the other posts about all the subway rules I've been potentially breaking for years just stress me out, especially since I'm planning on moving from the land of freeways back to the land of public transit sometime soon.

And this is writing stuff not blogging stuff. Problem with 231 is that you've got the 7 bus and the 10 bus right there so it's just a very busy station. 238, on the other hand, is nice and quiet. 3) I try for at least an hour, though I should do more like 1.5 hours.

Productive? Also, I'm interested in what makes 238th a better station to work in than 231st... How much time do you give yourself to write in the mornings? Productive?

Also, I’m interested in what makes 238th a better station to work in than 231st…
