G-Block

Once you get by the seriousness of workers getting hurt while working on the New York subway, this headline/story strikes a particular chord.

The good ole G train. The only train that doesn't go in Manhattan; the train that lifetime Manhattanites don't even know exists; the train that essentially runs every half-hour when it gets dark and, because of it, wasted at least 5 hours of my Summer of 2002 to go two stops (I later found I could have continued on the A/C and walked two more blocks...yea); and most importantly, the train and hood that The Generalist and I held down during said summer. For that and Kim Kau's, Sapolo's, Zaytoon's, Luigi's, and "Grocery" I got love for the G and I don't like to see it associated with bad news.
