Today I got out of bed, same as any other day, and made my way to the train station. As I passed by the CVS store, I noticed how quiet the streets were. Often, Queens Boulevard is teeming with cars zooming by, though it was certainly a nice change of pace to see it so empty and serene. As the time hit 6:00 AM, I made my way down the worn steps of the subway entrance before hopping onto an early R train. The ride was actually kind of uneventful, that is, until the train stopped at Lex and 59th, before the operator informed the passengers that the train was now out of service, and would no longer run its course. Frustrated, I got off alongside a swarm of other early morning commuters, only to find that the delay was only temporary, to my relief. As another R train rolled by, I made my way in and continued the mini-field trip out of 23rd St. and toward class. Sure enough, on the edges of Madison Square Park were droves of people, all taking pictures of the Flatiron building. I payed little mind as I had seen this event happening nearly daily this week, and continued on to class so that I wouldn’t be late.
