Last night, as I was exiting the subway station, I saw my neighborly "spanish" man. How weird, I finally posted about him, and I finally see him outside of our regular element. Sweet guy, even offered to give me his umbrella. I, of course, declined. Still, I did not get his name, ask how his holidays were, or any of the things I think about when I ( Read more... )

with craziness assumed...

i could see why you'd rather call it train, it sounds better abbreviated than going to the sub...

Yeah, and I think I have heard other New Yorker call it that. I just wasn't sure...

i dont think anyone has ever used the term subway station ever

I have ...but then LA people are pretty weird..or many times I'd call it the metro...

Really? When I type, I tend to think "Oh, well some of my LJ friends don't live here and maybe haven't visited here, I better explain". Thanks for answering :)

one doesnt say i am going to the trainstation unless they are on long island catching the LIR (long island railroad). in the city you would just say im catching a subway/train to "given location", i dont think anyone ever mentions wher they start. if they did yoy would just say the cross street, meet me at 42nd and broadway to catch a train downtown for instance.

Okay, good. At least, now I know.
I just always find it weird.....
I mean, I called it the train right away, when I moved here.

How sweet of him to offer you his umbrella. Is he cute? Heh...

mermayd658 January 6 2005, 10:19:02 UTC

Is was so sweet!!!! No, not cute. Well, cute in that older, family man, sweet way. Hell, I don't know if he's a family man but he seems like it.

I say both. but i am used to it, because of grand central and always coming in on the train. so i see tracks and my brain goes train.

Sleep help much?

I always say train but only really think about it, when I'm talking to peeps who don't live here.
Yes, it did. Thank you.

I always think that the train goes everywhere I need it to. Continentally, anyway.

you're welcome.
