The elevated station had platforms covered with beige canopies framed in a metal, which was painted a rich green. The noise of the north and southbound trains rattling overhead has been a constant part of the crossway’s ambiance ever since. Now every five or so minutes the rattling M train will interrupt the conversations of smokers standing in front of the huge window of the Bushwick Public House. Directly opposite, the train will stop the chatter of people eating falafels on the benches outside OMG Pizza, coincidently located in the bottom of a building that closely resembles the shape of a pizza slice. You won’t hear the voices of the two old women crossing the street, or the singing traffic cop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9b28dca8875e0b819776d1/1587229485327-XE1A750BUZ3DXDRQTLAU/3.png Portfolio -
