― dmr, Monday, 3 November 2008 18:49 (fifteen years ago) link
Uhh I think I might be voting in the nabe as well since I never changed my address with the city.

yah lauren you should go its pretty ludicrous and fun - theres a sign when yr leaving that says "stop! are you dressed?"
i love this place http://www.wallstreetbath.com too which is not nearly as huge and gleaming - more of a hardcore russian sauna type situation
― 888 (ice crӕm), Monday, 3 November 2008 18:55 (fifteen years ago) link
best sign ever.

dmr, I live in ft green (vote on adelphi), but will be taking advantage of having the day off: vote, leisurely breakfast, fish n chips lunch with champions league soccer, and roasting a chicken for dinner.

It's OK, don't worry, it's all part of Obama's grand plan to turn the US into a European Socialist Scrounger's Paradise, etc. Today yr subway maps, tomorrow - nationalised healthcare or something WACKY like that.

I find New York pretty easy to find your way around in since the river provides a convenient north south axis.
― LUTE JOINTS (Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃), Saturday, 8 November 2008 17:28 (fifteen years ago) link
"north"/"south" axis
― Uncle Shavedlongcock (max), Saturday, 8 November 2008 17:33 (fifteen years ago) link
is that new map for real, like up in subway stations? i think i am opposed to the idea of buying a subway map that fits in my pocket instead of picking up freebies and losing them at my convenience.
― schlump, Saturday, 8 November 2008 17:40 (fifteen years ago) link
Yes, max I am aware that it is "new york north"
― LUTE JOINTS (Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃), Saturday, 8 November 2008 17:43 (fifteen years ago) link
so no one wants to talk about how both of those NYC subway maps tom posted look like a flacid little cock n balls in profile?
― ian, Saturday, 8 November 2008 18:08 (fifteen years ago) link
i think someone did say that actually
― corrie ham (roxymuzak), Saturday, 8 November 2008 18:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Well, it's nice to know who has me killfiled, innit?
Manhattan is easy enough to navigate but I can't remember how Queens works - I did once work it out, in terms of Avenues and Roads and Streets and Courts or whatever, but I have forgotten. I haven't lived in NYC since there was a Democrat in the White House.

It's a nice feeling when you realize you've officially become part of the jaded, bitter, heartless new york mass. It's everything I ever thought I'd be when I was a wee one.
― burt_stanton, Monday, 10 November 2008 01:28 (fifteen years ago) link
i think that new map looks nice

yeah, I kinda like the Kick Map... it's definitely in the spirit of the Vignelli 72 map. I have a nice print of Vignelli's 2008 update hanging in my apartment.
