why does the area immediately outside penn station look and smell like crap?
 

Honesty?

You would think that the train station connected to Washington would suck a little less, though.

Because KH takes a **** right there by the entrance every day on his way to GS. I thought everybody knew that.

I think KH did say something about him not driving. He also has only heard tell of the peasant lands known as Brooklyn and Queens.

Don't talk about AS's girlfriend that way http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/angry.gif

What, KH isn't part of the Bridge and Tunnel crowd?

They didn't believe it, as far as I know. Go figure. Never understood how some people can get away with everything they do wrong... shows that concepts like universal justice and karma do not exist.

there was no marriage. she was born out of wedlock.

Too bad you weren't around. I would go to NYC to punch you in the face http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/nod.gif

KH has already made it clear. He doesn't want to be near the rank and file.

Well it's where homeless bums hang out because it offers the most panhandling opportunities. That's the real reason. Plus drunk people on Friday and Saturday night taking public transit and wanting to make a piss stop.

Of course someone from a gated community, like Kuci, would not know that. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/mad.gif

Normally I would say no... but this is New York and I seem to recall Giuliani practically criminalizing being homeless so... possibly yes.

How do they handle the homeless in Soviet Union?

You mean, how DID they handle them? Both winos and the homeless were sent to activity therapy centres, where they were put back on track through performing useful activities for the society. Yes, I mean labour camps.
Right now they do not handle them at all. Yes, break fluid and cold help, but I wish they didn't let them ride the metro, at least. They contaminate half the carriage with their smell.

Penn station is also near the Garden and not too far from Times Square

****ing tourist haven.

Grand central is mostly commuter rail to Connecticut.

Grand Central Terminal is the final stop for all commuter rail traffic coming in from the North on Metro North (CT as well as Upstate NY). Penn Station is the main rail hub, housing Amtrak, New Jersey Transit, and the Long Island Railroad trains.

The original Penn Station was a grand station, a rival to GC, and its demolition to make way for the ugly replacement is what started the building conservation movement in NYC.

I believe they actually mentioned that in passing on Mad Men last season.
