“train seats made of cane”
You beat me to it, Ms. Critique! I remember the train to Williamsburg with cane seats, porcelain handles, and ceiling fans. And the round windows!
The other thing I remember, is round stools in the luncheonette, Woolworths with a lunch counter (traif food, but I still remember seeing it) and payphone booths.
And 8 track tapes.
Ah, the good old days.
