1974 Vignelli Map sighted still in place

Posted by Allan on Wed Oct 11 14:44:44 2017

I found this on one of the other fanboards.

The 1974 map is at 57 St/6 Av on the mezzanine.

Apparently advertisements have been placed over it for all these years.

Wow- I went looking for that thing in 2002 or so...couldn't find it. I also didn't know it was inside fare control.

Nowadays, I have less free time than I did in '02, so getting to midtown is harder for me. But I might (emphasize "might") have some time next week, so hopefully it'll still be visible by then. With an unlimited card, getting into fare control will be no issue.

Thanks for sharing this.

It is on the southern portion of the mezzanine (inside fare control.

I have not been to that area since March. And I haven't gone into that mezzanine for over a decade. Back in 2002, I made a determined effort to find this much-discussed map, but I was unsuccessful.

Now, knowing that it's inside fare control, on the south side, I hope to try again next week.

I kind of regret not getting some original Keith Haring drawings in the subway. When I first started working there, it was only like two to five years out from when he was drawing on the blank spaces in the subway. Every once in a while they would remove an advertisement and one of his drawings will be there and I always meant to carry a box cutter with me to get them, but I never did.

Hey, you're the one constantly begging me for sex.

Just FYI— the Nazis generally aren't fond of gay people, so you might want to rethink your affiliation with them.

Look, it's obvious you're a very confused self-hating gay man who fell in with a bad crowd, so you deserve a little sympathy for that, but you really need to understand two vitally important things— (1) Your Nazi "friends" are not your friends and they may well kill you if they learn that you're gay. (2) Exactly why you are a Nazi is largely immaterial; you managed to get involved with the neo-Nazi movement without actually knowing that's what they are, but it doesn't matter; all that matters is that you are, in fact, a Nazi.

So get out while you still can. If you need help, there are groups who can provide it.

And until then, I'd like to remind you that SubChat is not a dating site and it's definitely not a sexual roleplay site— flirting with men you've never met is inappropriate and posting your fantasies about meeting them in a subway restroom is doubly inappropriate.

It's not an official political party; it's a loosely-affiliated movement of people who share a common belief in Nazi principles of white supremacy, antisemitism, ableism, rigid gender norms, and extreme nationalism. Curiously, many neo-Nazis (Bill included, it seems) don't seem aware that the word "Nazi" describes their beliefs and actively disavow that word; some may identify by other terms, such as "alt-right" but many would describe themselves with seemingly-neutral language, referring to themselves only as "centrists" or "Republicans" or "patriots."

This is perhaps a perfect example of a point I made earlier. Although Bill supports Nazi ideology (namely, white supremacy, antisemitism, authoritarianism, and genocide), he is unaware that the word "Nazi" describes his beliefs. In his mind, the word "Nazi" is just an interchangeable insult, so when he praises the Holocaust and someone describes him as a Nazi for it, he instinctively says, essentially, "I know you are but what am I?"

Ditto for "white supremacist." There were several lengthy threads in which he insisted at length that he's not a white supremacist, he merely believes in the supremacy of white people. The idea that the phrase "white supremacist" means exactly that thing is lost on him; in his mind, it's just another insult. (And one he's curiously averse to saying; he actually tried to euphemise it as "w.s." like a child trying to avoid a naughty word.)

In closing, I can't help but note that Bill only showed up after Larry effectively disappeared and he could be assured that no ban would be forthcoming. In that respect, Bill is essentially a decomposition bacterium— when boards like SubChat die, he shows up to consume the cadaver.

You misunderstood my comment. Correcting such misunderstanding is generally considered polite.

That was then, this is now.

I just find it amazing that map has been in place for 43 years and all they did was cover it up with later maps. Of course, it may have to do with the fact that it was glued onto the backing board.

I mean, seriously, you need to reconsider that statement as it could be mistaken for a threat.

Are you kidding me? How would that be a threat from me? I don't beat around the bush. I would have said it directly. I was saying how THEY, not me, would probably respond. It is purely speculation. I am not a fucking Nazi, nor do I think anyone else on this site is. Who knows what they would do? Maybe nothing for all I care.

I was just at the 57th Street station following the passing of the Transit Museum excursion train, and noticed that all of the maps within fare control are of the current vintage.
