It's got pictures and information about abandoned subway stations around the city. Too cool.

Back in the late 80's, if you asked nicely (or your dad knew the right folks to ask, and you got to tag along), you could get a ride on a one-car train to all the abandoned stations. There was this AMAZING mural of a desert scene in one; camels, pyramids, all done with spray paint (someone later tagged over the entire thing, the idiot); another looked like it was right out of Alice in Wonderland.

And my folks wonder why little city-child me likes spelunking...!
