Soundtrack to life
On top of the outside to some subway station entrances are video screens that show commercials. These are usually ads you don’t see on TV (that is, if you don’t fast forward them on your TiVo.)
There’s one on the 7th Ave E train station that hasn’t been working for the past week. As I was walking to the station, I noticed that the lines on the screen looked like asphalt with meridian lines, as if you were in a moving car looking at the ground. I was listening to a fast paced song at the time and felt like I was on a road trip. This in the middle of a busy sidewalk during a stressful week. It was so much fun!
Forget the roses (especially if you have allergies.) Stop and see the malfunctioning video screens.
