bus stop

 

It's been a few days since the snowstorm. I thought it was safe to walk in the neighborhood. It wasn't. Nearly everyone had their curbs shovel shut so you had to climb over snow banks to cross a street. A few people didn't even shovel their walks.

I decided at least to walk around the block. So I decided to go check out the object in front of the bodega that I thought last week was a bus stop. It is! (see story on WFMZ.)

You press the "doorbell" to tell the bus to stop for you.There are schedules and seats.  The seats are metal. That means at this time of the year they are icy cold, and maybe with ice. In summer they will burn the skin right off of your thighs. But the rest of year they should hold an average size person, or child.

 I wonder when more will appear and where. A random corner on the border of Bethlehem and Fountain Hill seems like an odd place to start.

Miles/Steps:  Half? Not much
PPE Found
:   3 disposable masks. One 10 steps from my house.
