Grand Central
Posted: Tue May 02, 2006 2:33 am
I said I was going to be out of town for the past weekend but I didn't say where. Well, we went to New York. The American Museum of Natural History have a big Darwin exhibition at the moment which the Missus wanted to see...
On Saturday evening we dropped by on Grand Central station. They've done a great job with the restoration - much better than when I last visited over ten years ago. Alas no pictures: we didn't have any disks for the camera, and it wouldn't have done the large space any justice.
The Subway has also moved forward with the times - they now use magnetic stripe cards (like the Tube) and have abandoned the old coin tokens.
