*The T train will run as the new Second Avenue Subway line. The line has been planned for more than 75 years. The ground breaking occured in 2007. Phase 1, which runs from 96th to 63rd street, was supposed to be completed in 2012. It has since been pushed back to 2016. The total cost of all four phases is explected to pass $17 billion dollars. The continued delays have led the line to be nicknamed “The Line that Time Forgot.”
NYC is 8 train lines short of the alphabet.
I was riding the subway from Atlantic-Pacific back up to the Upper West, 96th street. I was coming from work at the movie theater – I smelled like popcorn, my feet hurt like hell from standing for 6 hours, the usual. I had my headphones on, zoning out as usual. Looking around I turned to look at the guy sitting next to me – not obviously, but the sly “I’m really looking at the map behind you” kind of look. He was African American, dressed in work clothes and boots, maybe a warehouse guy, maybe construction. He had a weathered face and beat-up, huge hands, the kind that could palm a basketball no problem. Through his fingers it took me a second to see the rubic’s cube. The guy was just solving it, over and over again, and timing himself on his digital watch. Not going to lie, I judged the guy,
based on his clothes and the fact that he, like me, was getting off work at 10:30, but here he was, doing something I could never figure out like it was nothing. As more people packed into the train, I stood up, feet pulsing, so I could keep watching. Slowly a few other passengers started to notice the genius in the jumpsuit solving a rubic’s cube under three minutes, every time. One guy asked “what’s your best time?” “Two minutes fifty. But I have to get under two minutes to beat the world record,” and went back to spinning the cube. Sometimes I wonder if he ever did it. For all I know he’s world champion now. You never know who you’ll meet on the subway.
