The days of graffiti "taggers" using New York City subway cars as their canvases, if you will, are long gone.
However, that doesn't stop "taggers" from leaving smaller, less-graphic--though sometimes more provocative--marks in less conspicuous places in the system.
The West Fourth Street station, with its multiple levels and mazelike corridors, offers a wealth of such nooks and crannies. As if those features weren't enough, the station is in the heart of the Village and--are you ready for this?--has no exit or entrance to West Fourth Street. You can enter or exit at West 8th or West 3rd Streets, or Waverly Place--but not the eponymous thoroughfare.
So it just figures that, the other day, on the platform for the A, C and E trains, I would find this:
The MTA is the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the subway system. However, I have absolutely no idea of who "Moral Monday" might be. My curiosity is piqued.
