I am aware how bad the subway got with graffiti and general filth in the 1970s-80s, but that particular photo doesn't look so bad. No graffiti that I can see, and the bus just looks a little down at heel but not disastrous. Yet people here are saying "yuck".I'm reminded of the old TV show 'St Elsewhere'. It was based at St Eligius hospital in Boston which was supposed to be the least favoured hospital in the city (hence its nickname St Elsewhere). The joke was lost on us here in the UK, because all our hospitals look like that! |
