Bloomberg Spotting On Subway

On my subway ride home I noticed one bodyguard. Then two. Then three. I mind my own business continuing to read my AS3 book and eventually get ready my phone to take a picture just in case. I look up and there he was– mayor Bloomberg taking the subway just like the rest of us. I had heard he has always been an avid subway rider but you sometimes hear things and never know how much of it is true. It was a very New York experience– seing him doing the same thing I was doing, just minding his own business reading his newspaper.

Wow, that’s nice. Even the mayor uses the subway.

In Toronto, our mayor often rides the subway as well. I used to live in his neighborhood so I’d see him with his family or on his own, and sometimes passengers would stop and chat. Never a bodyguard in sight though. It just never seemed necessary.

That’s pretty awesome! Something I will never see back home.
