Automobiles jam Fifth Avenue at 54th Street after 3,500 employees walked off their jobs at two bus companies on March 10, 1941. With 1,305 buses out of action, throngs of New Yorkers took to subways and taxis to get around town.

The photo shows traffic on Fifth Avenue going in two directions. That changed on January 14, 1966, when it became a one-way street, with traffic going downtown (southbound).

Pretty Monsters

Look at all the pretty monsters

With their pretty pointed smiles

Look at all the pretty monsters

Stacking all the bones in piles

Look at all the pretty monsters

With their claws now painted red

Look at all the pretty monsters

Watch them dance around the dead

Look at all the pretty monsters

With their lashes long and dark

Look at all the pretty monsters

They will never miss their mark
