Catching up with Clarion Alley

Escalator temporarily stairs at Church St.
“An escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. You will never see an escalator out of order sign, just ‘escalator temporarily stairs — sorry for the convenience.’” – Mitch Hedberg It’s already been fixed, but the other day the handrail came off the guide rail at Church St. station.
