“...I Love NY”

I time portaled this morning to West 38th Street Manhattan.

October 19th, 2:46pm, 1954 CE.

I was dressed in 2022 a SpaceX sweatshirt Nikes, and Ukraine flag cap. No one noticed. I love NY. I was struck by unfiltered exhausts from light industry which was all over the city then. Also a background radiation of cigarette smoke. In them segregated milk delivered in bottles technicolor days everyone over 12 smoked like a chimney.

It made me light headed.

I weaved into traffic taking the snap above. ‘Was almost hit by a '53 Packard delivery van. The guy yelled assorted ethnic slurs, and traffic rules at me. I would have taken his portrait but didn’t want to start a race riot. Wandered on bought a newspaper for three cents and read about the Brooklyn Dodgers.
