the mcdonald's by union square cracks me up- it is one of the most ghetto mcdonald's i've been to, with stains and smells proclaiming their presence in every glorified floor tile. the cashiers manning the registers defy the passage of time, taking 10 minutes or more per customer. usually there will be one or more leering men as they lean against the columns, smiling their sketchily indulgent smiles, while a woman makes her way within inches of you, asking you to 'help her out' by sponsoring a chicken mcnugget. the security guard stands comatosely alert next to the registers, seemingly oblivious to (or decidedly ignorant toward) the sights and smells. and yet in this place- the music of vivaldi, mozart, beethoven flows forth with crystalline clarity: a wash of culture in the midst of this city subculture. posted by testimonies 4:51 PM Add a comment . . .
