The skyway as phone booth

I have noticed a new trend...people sitting on the floor in the skyways talking on the phone. It either signals a new privatization of public space, or people are confusing skyways with their parent's rec rooms.

Either way, it is a comfort thing.

What does the "Way of the Skyway" mean?

There are 8 miles of skyway used by tens of thousands of people a day. There is a horizontal grandeur here, and a lesson in self-organization for those who wonder what the public/private partnerships of the future look and work like. If you see me wandering around, say Hi. I might take your picture.

And, for the record, I will probably cheerfully give you permission to use these photos for non-commercial purposes if you ask, and give credit. Try it...or buy it if you want. But let me know.
