WEBSTER DEEMED HOAX!
In a recent press release, the MTA has confirmed rumors of a ominious giant spider hanging from the picturesque ceiling of New York City's Grand Central Station. It was first spotted several weeks after Thanksgiving and remained virtually undetected by commuters throughout much of the holiday's busy season. Employees as well as MTA police were instructed when questioned to refer to the air-breathing arthropod as "Webster The Happy Christmas Spider" in efforts to not cause mass histaria. It was also confirmed that Webster was exterminated on the day of the big snow storm when the station was void of customers and trains were not in use.

PUT YOUR DIGITAL CAMERAS TO GOOD USE!
Since we all now have cameras attached to our mobile phones, it is no surprise that much of daily life as we know it is being snapped everywhere you look. I was never one to be into photography but with the instant accessibility of my device I am finding that I have a new way of looking at the world. Since New York City's golden age of graffiti, local artists continue to poster walls and lamp posts and tagging has had a rebirth with the aide of crack and peel stickers. The permanence of such works could vary from years to minutes before being covered up or destroyed forever. In some instances a photo like this may be all we have as a document of such art.
