NYC Subway: 14th Street - Union Square

I was in the 14th Street subway station and I noticed something I haven’t noticed before. One corridor of the station contains stickers that have been attached to the tiles.



Each sticker lists the name of someone who died on September 11th at the World Trade Center.

I paused to take some photos and several people walking by stopped to take a closer look at the tiles. Many said they had not noticed them before.

I started thinking about all of the things we pass on our way to work. Sometimes we are in such a rush that we don’t take time to notice the little things along our way.

Watch this space during the next few weeks. I am going to highlight some of the interesting art that can be found underground in the New York City subway stations.

NYC Subway Art.
