The (Penn Station) eagle has landed

Nice preservation piece in the City Room on one of the old Penn Station eagles. Its new perch: The eighth floor at the new Cooper Union building.

When EV Grieve tried to take the train out east this weekend

Don't mind all these Penn Station photos. Bored. Was trying to go Belmont Park the other day. First post for the race: 1 p.m. Unfortunately, no one told this to the LIRR, who thought the first post was 3 p.m. So there wasn't a train for the 75 or so people standing around waiting to go to Belmont. Eventually, an LIRR manager type came out to talk to the group and offer an apology, but blamed Belmont officials for the snafu. Another train was promised, though after waiting an additional 45 minutes, we got antsy and left for plan B.

Something to match my sweater.
