Tourist....They are back and that is a good thing for our dwindleing economy. I took the shuttle from Grand Central to 42nd st. ...In the midst of the HUGE crowd was a little girl maybe 7 yrs old????..I think she must have been so scared of all the tall people and when she looked at someone in the seat sleeping (yes, I had to check to see if he was alive- had some kind of dreul comming out the side of his mouth-he was breathing) The child said in a loud voice "It smells in here and is the man dead?" Moma, the tourist, said to the child, "Quiet, I will tell you later" I laughed...and yet for the whole almost 2 minute ride to 42nd st., the child asked more questions out loud and the best was when she was holding her nose and said "Momy it smells bad, I think its that man!!!" And again Mom the touist said " Quiet, we are here now..." I laughed...I think that Mom and family will be taking a cab from now on....
