The all new subway review

Posted on September 24, 2004 by Marna

As I get closer to going back to NYC for a visit, I’m also being sent reminders of what it was like when I was there.

Anyone that’s been on the F train knows Mr. Sonny Payne. He’s one of those anything-you-can-spare guys. I usually saw Sonny about once a week on my rides. When I didn’t see him, I’d get concerned. He was a harmless panhandler with a realistic yet not in your face approach.

What I don’t miss is the subway God Squad types reminding me I’m going to hell. I make every effort in this life to ensure I enjoy it enough to guarantee that one-way ticket. I never need to be reminded of what I’m doing wrong.

The following is a great story of how one person fought back in a creative nonviolent way: http://www.livejournal.com/users/koaloha/29646.html

Peace be with you – and also with you.
