So many very different people, walking together like its no big deal, going about their business. This photo is pretty unremarkable to us, but it is a picture of something that for all of human history until the present would've been something out of a sci-fi story (or whatever the equivalent wouldve been). We are living in the fucking future, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah obviously we still have social problems but god damn we are definitely doing something right. Long live NYC

(and the buildings are pretty neat too)

It's one of the things I love about the streets of Manhattan. And they try to pick it up in the renderings, but nothing beats the real deal. And there will now be a place to watch the movement both inside and outside the terminal.

Classic viaduct photos, with the Commodore Hotel (and elevated line)...
