Before Carrie Bradshaw and Gossip Girl, New York had its sh*t years, ridden with crime, bankruptcy, and violence. This vintage subway sticker, which warns commuters against the use of knives, guns, and bombs (!), brings to mind a simpler time when anyone with a vagina carried Mace, which - inevitably - had to be used it at least once. In an era where the worst thing you can do on the subway is drink a cup of coffee, traveling underground can still be a nightmare when the most rancid-smelling hobo in town decides to take a nap in the seat right next to you. For twenty minutes. In rush hour.
