For starters, you only had a blurb about the Graffti epidemic aorund the middle of the article. You didn't even dig an inch into it, or how bad it got.You didn't really give any good stories about just how badly the trains failed. I mean, you gave good statistics, but to the Post-1980 generation of riders, it doesn't give us a true glimpse into how horrible the daily ride was. And the one thing that would really help your stories is tying the ongoing evloution of the subway into how the city in general has changed. Becasue after all, the best picture you get of how a city or neighborhood is is by riding it's transit. This becomes particualry evendent during the 1960's to today, as the city went down then came back up, the same happended with the subway. |
