New York City Subway

New York City have 24 train lines along 468 stations. The rail is owned by New York City and leased to the New York City Transit Atority, one of the oldest and most extensive public transportations systems in the world. The New York City Subway have more than 4 million travellers daily and more than 5 millions in the weekends. The New York city subway is the fourth busiest rapid system in the world after Tokyo, Moscow and Seoul. The system's stations are located in Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan. The subway have been used since 1904. All but 2 of the subway stations are served 24 hours a day. Outside Manhattan large portions of the rails are on embankments or on open cuts.

The state Long Island has a railway line included in the Manhattan maps since 1998, but have no connection what so ever to the New York City Subway system. The Long Island railway opened in 1860.



The New York City Subway service - number 7 have been called the "International Express" becuse it travel from Times Square to Flushing - Main Street in queens and have 21 stations and travel through many ethnic neighbourhoods. The 7 Flushing Local and the 7 Flusing Express are rapid transit services of the New York City Subways. The 7 service operates with 11-car trains, which is more than any other New York City Subway route. 

In 1915 the first test on the rail ran between Grand Central and Vernon Boulevard - Jackson Boulevard.


The 9-11 attacks in 2001 resulted in disruption of the lines through Lower Manhattan. Particulary the IRT Broadway - Seventh Avenue Lane that goes right below the World Trade Center Twin Towers that fell from the attacks.

Illusions

There are illusions to show the truth. There are illusions to hide the truth. There are illusions within the illusions to go to a deeper level to make the confusion or blindness complete. There are illusions within the illusions to show the truth in a deeper level. 

There is a dust spread to make the illusion complete. The real rulers spread the dust to others that spread out some more. But there is a bad smell of that dust. But only if we open up all of our senses we can feel the smell and see the truth. The truth may not be a pretty sight. But at least it is the truth and not the imaginary thing made up to hold us tight in string like marionettes. As soon as we open up our senses it is hard to close it again. That is why the ones that creates the illusions makes new illusions to cover up for the ones that are discovered. New dust is spread here and there but all that is done is that the air is sprayed with Air Freshener. The air will get another smell for a while but the bad smell will return in one way or another if the real reason for the smell is not changed. All we have to do is keep our senses open and the truth will unfold right before our eyes.

There is a magic place. But I want that magic place to be a real magic place and not a fairytale. The truth is way more magic than the fairytale shown like in a live 3D film. Take off the glasses and face the truth.

Empire State Building

Empire State Building is a 102 story landmark in New York City located at 350 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan. The construction started in 1929 and in 1931 the building was complete. Empire State Building was the World's tallest building for 40 years from 1931 until 1971 when the north tower of World Trade Center was completed.

The Empire State Building is the the first building in the world with more than 100 stories and belong to the seven wonders of the world and is used as a typical office building serving many different companies. From the tower is an amazing view over Manhattan from the 86th floor and is one of the few places in Manhattan where you have a 360 degrees view. The tower is topped with by an enormous spire. More than any building in the world, the Empire State Building represent the ambition of humans to build towers that reach for the skies. 

The name derives from the nickname for New York, the Empire State.

The tower have a tradition that started in 1976 to show in different colors. Already in 1932 a light was shown from a long distance and it became a symbol that Franklin D. Roosevelt had been elected as the President of the United States of America.

Different colors of the building represent different times of the year. For example red/green/green is Christmas, blue/blue/white is the United Nations day, Red is Valentine's day and yellow/yellow/white is Eastern. 




In 1933 The film King Kong made the Empire State Building world known when the giant gorilla climbs the building.
