On the Subway

I don’t ride the subway tons so every time I’m underground I seem to see something unique. Last week coming home from the hellacioius trip to Toys R Us (1, 2) I snapped these two photos.

In the first photo I found it strange that the silouette in the ipod ad & the man in the Kaletra ad are striking the same pose.

In the second photo this lady was just cracking me up! On a day of moderate 40 degree weather, she was dressed like this was the subway through the antarctic or something. I just wanted to shake her and be like “Honey, it’s not that cold!”

Times Square CK Ad

Shortly after exiting Toys R Us I was greeted with this Calvin Klein billboard. As I stared at his.. ahem.. into his eyes, magically most of my shopping stress was relieved.

Crowds of People at Toys R Us, Times Square, Manhattan

I think it’s the number of people that really gets to me inside Toys R Us. That, and it’s all lit up with crazy music playing because it’s in Times Square. And when you walk in you’re greeted with a huge Ferris wheel that is as tall as the store’s 3 stories. So people are there for entertainment, not just shopping. And there are little kids running around everywhere. And I wander around for almost 2 hours and still only have one toy picked out. I love shopping for clothes for my nieces but when it comes to toys I never know what to get. I like looking at the toys but when it comes to buying them I never know what is age appropriate for them and since I only see them a couple times a year I’m not sure what they’re into and what they already have. And everything is so foreign to me.

On or about Aug 4 this exit closed.
Times Square Subway Station, Times Square, Manhattan

Is the MTA printing signs that say “On or About” ? And why are they still up 2 months after the estimated closure date?
