Subway Stories - The Recession Edition
In just over two weeks, it will be this blog's three year anniversary. Three years passed in a snap! I've been thinking about what I'll post on the actual day, but I still don't know.
Today, I was looking at my sitemeter, seeing who found me and how, and came across something interesting. Someone from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, came in through a Wowzio page that compiled the Subway Stories that I've written. Well, not a complete compilation, but headlines with teasers and links to each of the posts. Kind of cool, but also a little jarring to see all those stories in a location other than on my blog.
So it got me thinking about the MBTA's plans to cut service. As you might guess, people are pretty outraged. It also got me thinking about the last time I had even taken the T. Since my layoff, I don't commute into Boston everyday, so I drive most of the time I need to go somewhere. Reading through some of my Subway Stories made that all the more clear. I really hope the economy picks up soon. There appear to be "glimmers of hope."
Well, if you're interested in some of my many adventures on the T, read through some of these Subway Stories. I'm still looking for work, but maybe I need to take the T just for the writing material.

Just dropping by to say hello. So glad to see you at my spot and to know you are still here.
I wish I had something wise to say but I am basically being nosey. I saw that you visited a friend of mind.
Your blog made me hungry. You have a nice peaceful spot. Black women lawyers have a special draw, and you can cook. You're a writer as well ...very interesting.
As for the T, I'm from Mass too and it makes me sad as well...of all the subways I've been in, it's my favorite!
You got me thinking my first post Feb 20th 2006 God 3 years as well.
So we have been friends for 3 years How 'bout that?
Hasn't that time flown
It was 3 years since we were in Boston during our 5 week stint in New York City.
It was such fun. This year we are off to Europe. Croatia, Amsterdam and France. Can't wait.
Hey it was fun catching up with your Subway Stories.
Cheers
mizrepresent - Thanks for dropping by!
careycarey - Welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the food and your visit here. Stop back again!
kirti - A good quote can keep me going when things are tough, so I try to keep them close!
t - It's so funny trying to remember how we found each other's blogs. I'm just so glad that we did!
so simple - Time sure does fly Gilli! You're getting to be a friend from way back in the day now. Your trips sound great and I'll be looking forward to your pictures and posts!
dmarks - I guess it will still take some time. 20 years maybe? If you've been calling it that you're whole life, it's probably hard to suddenly stop.
Keep writing!!
Thank you so much for the well wishes for my job search. They are much appreciated! ; )
