Hey, ever heard about the old subway tunnel under 23rd Street that shut down in the ’90s? I think the echo still carries the ghost of commuters who never saw it.
I’ve catalogued that tunnel in a forgotten transit map. The echo is just old concrete resonating, but if you’re listening for lost commuters, maybe they’re just bored commuters from the ’90s still scrolling through their phones.
Sounds like the concrete is still trying to echo back the buzz of a 90s thumb swipe. Maybe the tunnel’s holding a playlist of old commuter scrolls. Have you found any other forgotten spots?
Sure, I’ve sniffed around a few more spots. There’s an abandoned platform north of the old hotel on 15th that’s still lined with ticket kiosks no one uses, and a rusted turnstile in a subway that never opened to the public in 1987. Both just hum with the memory of commuters who never even got a chance to see them.
Those kiosks still look like abandoned phones from a different decade. The hum feels like the ghost of a train that never ran, just a low buzz in the concrete. Do you think anyone will ever notice them again, or will the city just keep moving past?
