I'D prefer to have an unobstructed view out the window
I believe these flags appeared on bus windows after 9/11. I wonder who decides these things. The flags remind me of signs I used to see on the public buses in Athens at Easter-time that said something like, "Christ is Risen."
In "Here is New York," E. B. White identifies three New Yorks: the city of the people born here; that of the commuter; and--"the greatest"--that of the person born somewhere else who comes here "in quest of something."
I think there is a fourth New York, mine: that of someone who grew up here, moved away, and then--finally!--comes back.
