Naturally this was a security risk they sought to mitigate and they changed this line at this station to its present format. <br /><br />Nowadays, they would have surveillance in such a setup, but what's done is done.Scuba Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326884503725331349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-6985083210774758912020-08-07T15:45:26.813-04:002020-08-07T15:45:26.813-04:00lots of reactionary nonsense in these comments.

Vandalism is fun to some people. I think they're sick and should be locked up, but NYC is letting people out without bail, so they can immediately re-offend.<br /><br />Worse, our culture now disdains concern for ANYONE else - the culture of "me, me, me" that is selfishness personified, and which doesn't bother to consider the needs or concerns of others. It's always someone else's issue, or problem, or mess. Just like the crusties - they make a mess, but they never clean up; b/c it's someone else's problem to clean up.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-82555738080090801942020-08-07T12:48:08.245-04:002020-08-07T12:48:08.245-04:00seems some east village residents simply have low ...seems some east village residents simply have low expectations.
