Up near my apartment, just south of the 96th street HOV entrance, 2nd Avenue was nearly vacant, providing a refreshing morning landscape free of honking horns and pollution.

But further down, near the entrance to the Queensboro (59th Street) Bridge, Traffic slowed to a crawl. Two points of interest in this photo:

1. A gas guzzling, oil dependence inducing HUMMER, complete with a support the troops ribbon and American flag. You sir, are a true patriot!

2. A BUS! It had little flashing lights in the front and had a sign saying it was just for Police department workers.
   

And local business like this bank were doing little things to make people's commutes a little bit more bearable in the cold.
