Day-Glo

These chairs represent my childhood. The ridiculous plastic seats are preserved in a corner of Union Station as a reminder of the aesthetic horrors of the 1970s. The Day-Glo throwback is completely out of place in the grand old train station. Having spent my formative years in Toughskins pants and wood-paneled station wagons, spotting these symbols from my past can be jarring. I prefer tomorrow to yesterday anyway.
