Live from the expansive car wasteland...
I'm lucky enough to make an escape for this Christmas holiday. I'm in Colorado, where a strike by transit workers would be noticed only by the poor, downtrodden, and car-less. I think the TV news here would feature it, after the first commercial break.
I don't miss the clatter of the Red Line that I live next to, though. Oddly, some folks in Queens miss the rumbling of the 7. Says one: "When you spend your life hearing the screech of steel wheels over your head every two minutes, you almost forget what quiet is." I do know what he means, though. Denver seems so...quiet.
Enjoy rj's firsthand NYC notes below, and of course, more Times coverage. Looks like union leaders might face jail.
And as I use a computer that isn't logged into the NYTimes website, I notice it seems the Times has loosened its registration requirements...
