“G”
pen, marker, and colored pencil on G train schedule
2009
In case you dont know about the G train, here’s a few facts..
– The G is the Brooklyn–Queens Crosstown subway, running from 71st Avenue (Queens) to Smith–Ninth Streets (Brooklyn).
– It’s the only train that doesn’t enter Manhattan. Very useful sometimes, but… If you live on the G (like in Greenpoint) just a few miles from the LES or Chinatown, you gotta take THREE trains to get there.
– The G train is notorious for taking forever. 20 minutes at night (according to the schedule), but that might soon change to 30 minutes due to the budget crisis.
– When I asked the MTA guy for the schedule, he said “Maaaybe I can find you one back here, but I don’t know why you want one.. it’s like science-fiction”. He didn’t know that it’s best use is for drawing paper.

2008 was a crazy year for me. The “divorce” was finally over and no more mortgage. I was set free in a lot of ways. Here’s some pics from the last year that never made the blog..
I drove (..yeah crazy already) about 15,000 miles in a year.
..even in a minivan, I can’t drive 55. Topped out at 117, shaking ALOT.
Spent alot of time in Los Angeles. Things are just different there.
LA doesn’t have so many Dunkin’ Donuts.
Galo and Size. Don’t know who did the cholo characters, but they are so LA and really dope.
FTW. These dudes were up in Echo Park.
Dope SLAY sticker. This dude was up, creepin tags in weird not-so-quick-to-buff spots.
“ADZE ” also had his ups.
Ellis G came through for a West Coast visit.
The Bay Area became my new second home.
Hew Burney came through with the pics when in Vegas..
Taco Tuesday dictated the schedule in ’08.
OD crew wasn’t being pushed anymore, partly due to a “bad apple” bumming out everyone. Something had to give, and it was either retire the crew or clean it up and move on. Bad apple removed.. new apples added.
Welcome to the family Caype OD.
Getting bored, and with the recomendation/encouragement from some friends, I started this blog.
Gas prices got out of control (I had to spend $5.15 a gallon once in Hollywood), leading me to drive less and steal more (gas). Which made LA suck even more.
..so even with all the beautiful weather and women, LA just wasn’t for me.
I was out.
East Coast ❤ .
and oh yeah, huge political news.. Obama pulled it off.
Happy New Years!

Some pics that bring me back.. Boston’s elevated Orange Line.

Green St., looking inbound
Egleston Station, my stop for school
Goin over the Mystic River
In the South End. You can see the sign for St Vincent de Paul in the background.
Elevated Orange Line in Roxbury. Check out Skippy Whites, best spot for vinyl back in the day.
Pulling out of Forest Hills Station, looking from the bus yard.
The elevated Orange Line tracks (R.I.P.) being removed, looking north from Forest Hills.
The above pics are taken from NYCsubway.org. Those are just some of my favorite pics, mainly because they are of my old stomping ground. Check out more old school MBTA flics on their website.
Coz getting up in 1986 (est). Mass, Tale, and Spell tags also up. (* above 2 pics stolen from the web, forgot where)
the old train route, 1979 MBTA map
The actual ride, Forest Hills to Dudley
