"From Camden Town Station...."

"From Camden Town station.....
44th & 8th.
NYC.

On my first ever visit to New York City, I had the song "Lightning Strikes" by the Clash in my head the whole two days I was in town. Those two days left a lasting impact of course. How could it not? One of the things I didn't get to see on that trip though was the intersection of 44th & 8th. So, five years after that first visit, when I was now a resident of the east coast, one of the first things I wanted to do was go to 44th & 8th. My friend asked me why I wanted to go there, there wasn't much to see. My answer, because it's mentioned in a Clash song. Yes, I'm that much of a Clash nerd.
