What’s The Goss?!
So like a billion clean trains in NYC got crushed last weekend with the unending snow and non-existence of the once fabled Vandal Squad. It’s wild that Cuomo is keeping the subways closed at night (likely to keep out the homeless) which creates a big opening for artists to run amuck.

Hey NYPD not doing their job again who ever would have thought that that giving an agency a blank check and zero accountability would yield good results?

Congressperson Carolyn Maloney doesn’t seem to know that the 21st street/Queensbridge stop exists on the F line and HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS LADY REP THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IN CONGRESS? Christ on a f*cken pretzel knot.

Trapped tunnel workers in India
Climate change lead to an epic flood in India, resulting in at least 35 hydro-electric power plant workers being trapped in/killed in a tunnel under the plant. As of Tuesday the rescue op was still ongoing.

New Tunnel Smell
Should a new tunnel connection be created between Manchester and Sheffield? Some people say no… Me, I’m like build alllllll the tunnels.

Sydney, Australia will be constructing a new highway tunnel for the Warringah Freeway. Say that shit out loud, yelling it off the back of the train as you backside: WAAARRRRIINNNGGGAAAAHHHHH!

Estonia and Finland are plotting one of the most expensive under sea tunnels ever built. Now this sounds like one hell of an awesome spot to explore…

Following up on this London HS2 stuff, it turns out two of the protesters in the DIY tunnel are a father & son activist duo, while another is a former university lecturer. The standoff has dragged into a second week.

Shorty’s Short Shorts
A new year, a new city, and another old power plant imploded without informing any of it’s neighbors what was about to happen. STL’s got problems but this shouldn’t be one of them.

Pittsburgh is putting some new LED lighting in their tunnels and MY GOD can someone get Philly to do this as well? Those orange lights down there look worse than Gritty after a college bender.

A dead ass ancient school in Racine is going to be demolished this year and judging from these photos, what a waste…

Bando BBQ—Fire and Ice Edition
An abandoned building in Chicago collapsed from the snow. Nature ain’t playing this winter!

International Update
Hot Romanian girls are working on saving a huge decaying spa is not the story you were expecting but it’s the one you need.

Speaking of saving stuff, this unique artwork left abandoned in a Cyrus nightclub definitely sounds worthy of salvation.

Residents of Hull (UK) were warned that their toilets might back up with all the fatbergs they seeing.

If you’re an Aussie looking to become Batman A) here is the house for you B) why the fuck didn’t you chose to be Dr. Strange?

And that’s a wrap…
This winter has been rocket fuel for NYC’s graffiti revival. Just when we thought this pandemic shit couldn’t make the streets more popping, now the subways are a free for all. Looking good boppers.

NOTE: It sometimes takes a short while for comments to be approved - unfortunately there's a lot of spam comments that come in. I absolutely love when y'all share personal stories of friends relatives etc who worked in these places. It really helps capture what these places were like before they closed up shop.

If you're feeling salty, argumentative comments completely devoid of facts (supply links to support your argument) will not be published. Got a case to state? come with the details.
