[Charlie-F]

About 20 years ago, there was a strike by New York City’s mass transit workers. Many of the millions who work in Manhattan had to find alternate means to reach their places of employment. This happened in the spring during a period of beautiful weather, so a substantial number of those workers chose to walk. In many cases, this involved walks of five to 10 miles – in some cases, no doubt, even longer. Many women (and some men) who elected to walk wore sneakers to the office, then changed into shoes when they arrived. The strike lasted two or three weeks. By the time it was settled, a new fashion was born – one that remains fairly common in New York City today.
