Isn't "Downtown" one word? Don't they proof their tile mosaics?

Maybe it's where you find the depressed town trains?
Maybe it originated as two words. An adjective and then a noun. Email was once "e-mail". The hyphen has been dropped. Now it is "email". Catch my drift?
Spelling wasn't a biggie back in the day.
I just love those mosaics.
K: Depressed trains run all throughout Manhattan. It's not specific to geography.
Myopic: Welcome! I belive that's the best answer. NYC has many revamped spellings. "Bowery" was once "Bowerie."
Annie: Click on that pic for details of the mosaic. The NY subway system is chocked FULL of beautiful mosaics!
It may have also been a stylistic choice...for spacing etc.
Surely it should be spelt; Doon Toon?
Mosaics make the most smashing tiles..reet?
I'm with anniegirl, have always loved the subway mosaics
through the miracle of modern pain medication, i now have a terrible earworm. somehow, Sheena Easton's "Morning Train" is stuck in my brain. the mosaics are lovely. the song? notsomuch...
Nurse H: That’s a very astute observation. Do you hang out with many graphic designers? ;-)
Jimmy: Wouldn’t it be great if you walked into the 42nd Street subway station and saw Downtown written out “Doon Toon” in a beautiful mosaic?
Nurse M: I’ll try to post more subway mosaic pics, but they frown on taking photos in the subway. Terrorism and whatnot.
Daisy: That’s so funny! When I look at his post, I think of Rod Stewart’s “Downtown Train,” which is a much hipper song.
i'm blaming the drugs, man... Sheena Easton = BAD TRIP.
Pardon me boy, is that the downtown train? Eh, not as catchy.
