Did you visit the WTC stop? It was so fucking creepy. It felt like a dystopian movie.
Nah. Didn’t go. Saw Times Square and Herald Square mostly empty, though and sometimes I could walk for 2 or 3 blocks in my neighborhood without seeing anyone.
Due to the enclosed, empty, 100% marble interiors of the WTC stop it was super creepy. The shops were shuttered, the people gone. The worst part was the loudspeaker. They had a message about social distancing echoing through the marble structure. The loud speakers weren't even synched up, so the dystopian message rolled through the structure like a wave. If you did see a person they were masked, shielded, wearing gloves, and refusing to make eye contact. Keep strong, you aren't the only patriot left in NYC!
I walked through there during that time. The creepy female robot voice still plays in Penn Station but with all the people now it's easy to tune it out.
