Sutton Place tennis courts are covered with a white bubble in the winter. A white balloon blocks the cold and wind and general unsavory winter conditions. This white balloon slowly turns brown, the result of sitting so close to the FDR highway collecting smog and exhaust. By the end of winter, many players have a hard time seeing the tennis ball because this smog collected on the bubble actually darkens the tennis courts. The grime impedes their vision. Poor lighting and automobile pollution shouldn't have an affect on a tennis match.

- The Everyday Adventurer
- I can’t seem to find my way anywhere. I have systematically spun myself in circles. I’m tired of wearing this heavy backpack. I can’t find the Trailhead, but I do eventually stumble across the highway. My compass tells me that I need to head north. I pitch my thumb and start trying to hitch a ride. And I try for a while, with just about everyone driving by. I must look terrible, the backcountry having gotten the best of me. Finally, an old Hippie stops his jalopy and proceeds to drive me for several miles until my vehicle appears. Sitting right where I left it, only yesterday. Suddenly, I’m out of the Wilderness and back into the safety of my operating vehicle with a heater
