I audibly gasped when I saw the details put in this. The R route, the Psychic pamphlet you see all the time on there, the NYC Lottery Smoke Shop. I've seen ALL THESE THINGS going to and back from my High School, and even in standard commute. Did not expect at all a High Detailed animation to depict these small details of Queens. Even ones I'm actively familiar with. Not only is my animator heart fueled but borough Euphoria :D

Sonder: the realization that every passerby has a life as complex and vivid as yours.
It's a beautiful concept and perfectly captured, here.
