Monday, Tuesday Pukey Days... Wednesday, Thursday Pukey Days! - MBTA Central Square Lynn, MA - Pick Up Your Puke, Please?

It's been a week now since my last post on the MBTA station in Central Square Lynn, MA.  On July 4th, someone decided to puke right at the top of the stairwell on the Union Street side.

You know the stairwell....

The one that always smells like urine in the morning on the way to work.....

Yeah.... that one!

Get this! Now you get to take in the smells of urine on your way up the stairs and be greeted at the top by a puddle of puke that is slowly baking in the summer sun.  A neighbor of mine has texted me a picture of this puke every morning. It's such a delight to open my phone and see the pictures below. MBTA! MBCR! Whoever is supposed to clean this up? Clean it up!!! And let's get a regular cleaning schedule on that urine infested stairwell. While we're at it, how about a gate to secure the platform at night?

Day 1 - July 5th, 2010 - The puke has maintained it's fervent color. It's odor subtle, but present.

Day 2 - July 6th, 2010 - The puddle has reduced in size, left are mostly chunks and a stain of the former liquid which has now evaporated. The smell seems to be gone as well. Hard to tell over the urine smells coming from a few stairs down below.

Day 3 - July 7th, 2010 - The heatwave seems to be preserving the puke in it's current state. Kind of looks like a turkey or a pigeon. Most people play these games with clouds. In Lynn, we like to play them with the puke and urine stains on the MBTA commuter rail platforms.  

I can't wait to see it tomorrow. No doubt I will, as they don't EVER seem to clean the platform. This is the second time we've watched puke dry up in the summer sun this year. Never saw the wrath of a hose and some soapy water. Ridiculous!  Remember, this is a symptom of a larger problem with the entire MBTA/MBCR property in Downtown Lynn. Read the first post.
