The Mole People

And speaking of Grand Central Terminal, there are huge communities of thousands of people who live underground in New York City – the largest of which is under Grand Central, up to 7 stories down. Sometimes during rush hour these underground dwellers open up old forgotten subway entrances from the inside and prop the door open….thousands of city commuters just using a faster way to get to their train and likely not realizing who has opened this gate for them, not noticing the person standing there or sitting there or smoking there by the door. He’s not homeless, he chooses to live like this with no rent and no responsibility. He might even have a shower, and wallpaper in his “apartment” and he might even have a job. Some underground dwellers are drug addicts or other rough crowd types, but some are just regular people (sort of). I find the whole thing rather interesting (so different!) and recommend the book “The Mole People” to anyone who’d like to hear more about how the communities work and function. I promise you will be surprised!!
