The Black Hole At The Center Of The Universe

Is at 34 Hamilton Street

I don’t have much time today, so I’d like to introduce you to one of the most depressing public places in the entire world—the Albany Greyhound bus station. Look at this photo. There’s so much that contributes to a sense of illness in this place.

• There is a spot on the ceiling.

• The ceiling tiles around the vent are grody.

• The greyhound sign behind the counter is suspiciously tiny.

• The kerning on the Tickets & Information sign is completely fucked.

• The no smoking / no vaping sign isn’t appropriately centered. Just floating out there on the 2D plane of the wall, I guess.

• Lots of strange tape marks on the wall, peeled paint. What could have caused this? Wait, hold up…

  

• Enhance. Enhance.

  

• Dios mío. It’s a miracle!

• Some fucking nasty liquid thing on the ground, in the grout between tiles. In the space between worlds. In the space between us ❤️

• Out of place modern POS terminal that accepts tap to pay. Fix the rest of this first!

• Benches all facing one direction—scary.

• One faded 20 year old poster, advertising “Quebec.”

• Inconsistent caps on the gates. Montreal. BOSTON.

If I were to redesign this station, it would look like this:
