You would never know Times Square is above ground but walking through this subterranean maze it really feels like the crossroads of the world. You hear people are speaking Russian, Chinese, French, Spanish...There's a mime in the station with his face painted white. Or a Chinese man playing a screeching stringed instrument only he seems to enjoy. It's been a while since I've seen the short Michael Jackson impersonator. This is the crossroad of my world twice a day when I change trains going to and from work. On some days it feels like I've gone further than that.

You are so right! You probably won't see the short Impersonator for a while unless you went to 34th Street at 6th Ave on the B & D line where I see him every day. There he draws an evening crowd that competes with the break-dancers. I think he wins out...he's even on You Tube! Go figure, with that much popularity he should be paid every time someone watches his online renditions.
