NYPD Woes

New Yorker spend a lot of time on public transportation. Those of us who remember pre-yuppified NYC also remember when only half of the train car doors opened, yet entry was cheaper, tokens were a thing, and there were few delays. Now, we pay less for more. Being in NYC, even if you're born here is becoming increasingly stressful. Which was why I wasn't surprised when I found this on a bus up in Woodside this past Thursday.

Not surprised people are taking out their frustration on a hot button issue that's been prevalent in many urban neighborhoods in recent years. I'm going to be on the look out for other aspects of commuter frustration as well. 

If you're on the look out for wall writing....or just writing that isn't on paper or in a book...send it along. Post it on Instagram or Twitter using the #wallprophecies hashtag and I'll definitely repost on my own social media, and put a compilation on a blog post :)

Until Next Time! 

MTA Yet Again

As usual, the MTA / New York City subway continues to be a great breeding ground for awesome yet strange things. It might be a random man preforming an aria on a subway platform. It might also be a woman who tells your fortune for a dollar, and once, I saw a man with a typewriter selling poetry for 5 dollars. He made a killing during Valentine's Day (and maybe he's on call for anniversaries) but the subway is also great for those days when you just happen to be by a flier or a train advertisement and you see some awesome commentary written on it.

Bumped into this the other day:

When vandalism makes more sense than an actual paid ad does. #MTA

What have you bumped into on the NYC subway. If you're not from NY... you can just post stuff from your usual public transportation route. If you don't use public transportation, just send pictures of something you've seen on a wall.

Tag it with #wallprophecies on instagram or tag me to the picture and I'll repost it!
