G Train Extension

In all my years as an MTA fanatic, I’ve never seen a rapid transit service nonplus me so! The long-overdue and recently realized design of stretching the southern terminus of the G train from Smith-9th St to Church Avenue has shaken up my world and I don’t know if I’ll ever be the same.
 
After all these years, the fluctuating pixel-like diagram on the inside of the train reads ‘Kensington, Brooklyn’ as that is the new destination of all southern-bound G trains.
 
How bizarre!

Suspiciously Elusive Public Information

Geeking out and getting excited to learn more about the NYC council came to an annoyingly slow halt.

Don't Slack, Get Your Facts: On the Novelty of Becoming a Knowledgeable New Yorker

As a new New Yorker, I've been doing my best to learn as much as I can about this quaint little (305 square miles) Dutch village. So far I've had a lot of questions about the most populous city in the US, and frankly, I've been shocked to encounter numerous natives with the naϊveté of a novice...sorry. I can understand not knowing street names or subway stops outside of your usual route to and from home, work or school BUT there is absolutely NO excuse to be completely directionless. Find your orientation people! It's easy. Just look up, there's a HUGE compass in the sky.
