Kamran sends me a link to Huffington Post‘s slideshow of the most beautiful photos of the abandoned City Hall subway station.

Some fool comments with this:

I think it is hilarious. Then some other fool comments with this:

And I’m like, “Wait, wasn’t that first commenter being funny?”

    The misplaced apostrophe makes me think the first person couldn’t possibly be clever.

    • HOW AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN’T NOTICE? Even my ex-boyfriend felt the need to call me out on it on Facebook.

      Here’s what makes me think the first person is secretly still awesome: Ronnie James Dio, better known as Dio, sang “Holy Diver“, which is one of the most memorable metal songs ever for me.

      That has to count for something, right?

    I have to believe it was a joke because my only other option is to throw myself under a bus.

    And that place is BREATHTAKING.

    Unrelated to the comments, I thought it was odd that Huff Post just put this up, because you’ve been able to stay on the 6 train and see City Hall station for at least a year now. If by see, I mean you can peer out into the dark station and catch a tiny glimpse. But hey, it’s something.
