They must have all come on the same boat—15 foot chunks of
escalator wrapped in white plastic, placed in readiness at various
downtown intersections. How long has the excavation under busy city streets been going
on, I wonder. Before long, we hapless
pedestrians will find underground havens, with the ability to pass underneath traffic while possibly viewing hawkers' wares or admiring
some bit of public art. One passageway under the Bulvar sports marble half-vases mounted on
marble shelves placed against mirrors, which complete the image, providing the
vases’ other halves. T and I will benefit greatly from the new passageway under
Azneft Square near our apartment. We cross the streets there daily, sometimes
using the timed walk light that allows almost
enough time to make it, or K more often darting across the road, happy when there is some local to follow and share the thrill.
