LEE KRAMER'S ROOM: With Views

[dukeb]

In the morning most were catching some more Zs or maybe reading the newspaper. This was before cell phones and portable music players so there was quiet. Can we all remember quiet?

The trains out of 30th Street Station were probably Amtrak, which was a more comfortable ride than NJ Transit trains out of Trenton. I could sometimes catch an Amtrak out of Trenton but they didn't run as frequently as NJ Transit so it was hit or miss.

I had a friend who commuted almost every day from northern Bucks County by car to the Riverdale section of the Bronx (a rather nice part, I may add). He had one of the first Toyota Prius models to save on fuel expenses. He had a nice house at an affordable price for his family to live and he made NYC wages. Sort of a win/win if you didn't consider the toll it took to make that drive.

I don't know about morning...
