their blue jumpsuits, loading and unloading, as
well as the calm in a place not usually known for
calm. This is where I wake myself up most mornings
with a walk from 42 nd to 56 th St. when I opt to
get off the train a little early. The few I run

around the top of a house's chimney was another

its sign. Other signs were used to guide the
