Time Capsule

Confused locals and tourists
Round table chic in the second carriage
Hatpins, straw boaters, skinny ties
Dancing to swing vocalists
New friends watching you groove at Queens Plaza
Breaking out the ukelele
Whine of the motors reverbrates through carriage like a bad Jennifer Holliday impression
Joyous snatches of 'Stairway' and 'Rubber Ducky'.

"Let's do a duet of When I'm Cleaning Windows!"

"I only know half the notes!"

"That's alright, I only know half the lyrics."
