[HONDO74]

Wonder if those places smell of stale urine?

That's a CA thing, I guess.........

That would Be San Francisco, Nancy's home town.

I can't speak to Chicago, but not the case the last time I was in Philly or NYC trains stations.

The NYC subways have ways of distinguishing themselves, along these lines (unless things have changed since I was down there walking toward the platform.)

Thanks, very much, Wayne , for all those reality-checks and explanations on those stations. I appreciate when I am told the plain, unvarnished truth.
Murph

Ditto and ditto and thanks.

Here is a clue from "Broad City" filmed in New York, NY, talking about the subway scenes filmed in 2018.



My experience with Washington, DC and Toronto subways is both the tunnels and restrooms are very clean and odor free.

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Like. Like, totally, sad and demeaning. Like.

[rogruth]

Hmmm. That's a reverse of the picture shown earlier.

Chicago is the cleanest city I have ever visited.

Chicago is the cleanest city I have ever visited.

Is it safe?

Yes, as long as you stay out of the no go zones where the drug gangs are located.....

What did I say or do, to bring this on?

You did nothing wrong, Roy. The natural happenstance in the flow of conversation is responsible for the unique directions that sometimes, serendipitously occur.

I believe that if such moments in a conversation on a particular thread did not occur, the thread would soon find its way to the bottom of the line.

I’d like to see a comparison between. How they fixed that problem. Then and today. Back then the probably. Pushed one car and pulled the other. Today they would need to have 25 agencies show up to investigate. Then use 4 hazmat teams and 10 cranes to move both cars.
