anatomy of new york
Through collaboration with JP New York's anatomy (at least in human metaphor) has been revealed:
- People: Blood of the city. Traveling through blood vessels, bringing life to the organism.
- Subway routes: Veins.
- All other forms of mass transit: Capillaries.
- Good people: White blood cells.
- Bad people: Damaging bacteria.
- Times Square: Heart of the city.
- Bridges: Synapses of the brain.
- Parks: Lungs.
Since talking to JP I've added parks as the city's lungs.
After struggling to understand the transit system for over an hour and a half, parks provided solace and a breath of fresh air.
