NY NY

Hey, it’s Wednesday, so let’s see what Todd took a picture in NY just two weeks ago!

The World Trade Center PATH station originally opened on July 19, 1909 as the Hudson Terminal. When the Hudson Terminal was torn down to make way for the World Trade Center, a new station was built, which opened in 1971. This station served as the terminus for the Newark-World Trade Center and Hoboken-World Trade Center routes until it was destroyed during the September 11, 2001 attacks. A temporary station was built, which opened on November 23, 2003.

I didn’t realize that this station was even here. It’s actually under the street and for a temporary structure, it is beautifully designed.

ABOUT THE PIC: Obviously, I was going for a juxtaposition of the words with the reflective image in the background. I didn’t crop out the sides because I wanted the viewer to realize that this was a sign leading to a darker area. I love the green of the trees in contrast with the buildings and the taxi cab just screams NY. Like it? Hate it? let me know if u want.
