Captured by photographer Jamie Kalikow in the summer of 1981, this great vintage photograph shows a little girl (Kalikow's niece) reading a book on a graffiti-filled 1 train headed to South Ferry, Manhattan. Before the subway would be cleaned up later that decade, very few people rode them in the early 1980s, hence the vast, open space on the train we rarely see today.

Here's a new thing to add to your "Oh hell no" list of NYC nightmares: sink rats. Bed-Stuy resident Bari Finkel snapped some photos of this disgusting, yet somehow also cute, baby rat that crawled out of their brownstone's sink last week. Check out this video from NBC New York for more nightmare fuel.

“It looked like a zombie coming out of the grave,” she recalled. Finkel said it was actually her boyfriend who discovered something amiss with the sink -- which had no stopper because of a slow drain -- while using the restroom.

Good morning! Wishing you a happy Wednesday, July 18th, 2018 from all of us at Viewing NYC!
