Early Evening

   In 2019, New York’s Penn Station was located directly beneath Madison Square Garden. On the next street, There was an old post office with hanged "Pennsylvania Station" vertical banner. It was a post office in running. I was confused about just looked like a post office, and it said, "Pennsylvania Station". Now I know by a Youtube movie that the post office is completely changed as a Station.
   About 35 years ago, I arrived in New York at Grand Central Station and departed from Pennsylvania Station. Grand Central was a sooty charcoal gray, and it was hardly to say pretty. While Pennsylvania Station, in contrast, was a beautiful station with a little shiny sky blue walls. When I visited in 2019, these were said that it's in the opposite situation. Grand Central had been newly painted, and Pennsylvania Station looked aged. But, maybe, because of I didn't see Amtrak's Penn station. Also a train crew at Gran Sta. told me that Amtrak no longer use Gran Sta.
   As one more changing, It looked like no muggers at Grand Central, but at Pennsylvania Station, I saw a man who's one of mugger group near the ticket gates.
