Roosevelt Island Tram
The Roosevelt Island Tram is shutting down on March 1st for 6th months so Alan, Zoe and Andrea and I decided to go on it for the first time last night. The tram goes between Manhattan, at 2nd Avenue and 60th Street to Roosevelt Island, a long, narrow island in the East River between Manhattan and Queens. There are two tramcars and during the day they run every 15 minutes, the ride takes less than five minutes so we had time to do it four times.
The tram has been around since 1976, before that the only transit access to Roosevelt Island was a trolly that crossed the Queensboro bridge and stopped in the middle where an elevator took passengers down to the Island. Now there is also a subway stop on Roosevelt Island north of the tram and bridge.

Snowmageddon
Here is a picture of the elevated tracks near my house. On Tuesday it did snow all day but the last two days have been pretty warm and so it got slushy quite quickly. Mostly now there is snow on rooftops and awnings, in piles that people shoveled it into and there is scary ice sheets on some parts of the sidewalk from the snow melting and then puddles freezing again!

Chrysler Building
The sweatshirt is actually purple but it didn't come out in the picture, maybe if I take one outside.
