“Die Kitties Die!” screamed the headline in the New York Daily News when, in 2013, former Metropolitan Transportation Authority chief Joe Lhota criticized a decision to pause trains in a Brooklyn subway station to rescue a pair of kittens lost on the tracks. These days, New York so badly needs to get the trains to run on time that Lhota, whose unfortunate anti-cat comments caused a minor scandal, has been brought back as chairman of the transit agency.

The subway below Grand Central Station is about the spookiest place I have ever been.
It was better after Bernie Goetz made a name for himself.
When did it get this bad? The day the idiots in that city voted a hardcore blatant cop hating, US hating commie into office. Commie leaders do not give a damn about the people, you are all bugs to them, you exist merely to serve the royal presence Comrade De Blasio. When he returns and the people do not demand his immediately resignation, then I have no sympathy whatsoever how deep into disaster that city falls. I guess some people aren’t happy unless their lives are being destroyed by commies.
Watch - the NY media will place the blame on everyone and everything else beside DeBlasio.
The NY politicians will do likewise.
You must not get out much.
Well, NYC got what it asked for when they voted for De Blasio instead of Lhota.
Remember Hillary and Huma rode the subway during the presidential campaign? Hillary had trouble with her fare payment card, which perhaps indicates that Hillary never rides the subway and didn’t know what to do. But the media photo op went well otherwise, showing how Hillary is just like working people going to work, riding the subway to work..
When I was a teen in the late 60’s I’d take the subways all the time. Of course, growing up in Brooklyn you learn SA (situational awareness) at an early age. You’d constantly be scanning the scene for signs of trouble and be ready to hop a train or scoot out of there at the slightest sign (which my buddy and I would frequently have to do).
Did we ever see anything of the paranormal variety, nah. Crazies? Plenty!
Which one: the shuttle, Lexington Avenue line (4/5/6) or the Flushing line (7)?
The only “spooky” area of Grand Central to me was the lower level, when it used to be closed on weekends. That was decades ago, though. Originally, the long-distance trains dominated the upper level and the local commuter trains left from the lower level.
History repeats, down goes NYC, again. It’s a david dinkins devival.
With what we have learned about the probable scope of Leftist vote fraud, I am no longer willing to assume that any of these Communists were actually voted into office.
My sons and I were catching a train back to Tarrytown to our hotel one night after we had visited their aunt in mid-town and spending a little time in Times Square. It was like peering into infinite darkness and no perceivable support to hold up the earth over our heads. . . it was not a re-assuring feeling.
Bear in mind I am from Alabama, but have ridden the DC subway many times
Blame Schumer. Instead of trying to bring home transit dollars, he is blasting the one NY’er who can make this happen.
This was one of the subjects of conversation this morning on FOX News. Di Blasio may be the worst New York mayor in history.
Not so sure about the politicians. Andrew Cuomo apparently considers DeBlasio a rival because they have some feud going. I would expect Cuomo to try to take advantage of DeBlasio’s absence to ride in like some white knight and offer a state funded emergency fix or something like that.
De Blasio knows what he is doing. He wants to be needed. Destroy the transit system and “Wallah!”... he is needed.
How else can the left advance? Ugh.
I haven't been back in Fun City since the first Bloomberg term, but I wonder if the folks at FOX are old enough to remember John V. Lindsay (R,L).
Probably not. Most of the hosts are rather young.
1965: In 1965, Lindsay was elected Mayor of New York City as a Republican with the support of the Liberal Party of New York in a three-way race.
1969: In 1969, a backlash against Lindsay caused him to lose the Republican mayoral primary to state Senator John J. Marchi, who was enthusiastically supported by William F. Buckley and the party conservatives.
1971: He switched from the Republican to the Democratic Party in 1971, and launched a brief and unsuccessful bid for the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination as well as the 1980 Democratic nomination for Senator from New York.
