- This week was rainy and snowy in the city. If you are not in a rush to be anywhere, bad weather can produce some pretty good sounds. Almost symphonic at times. This is a composite of audio recordings, some from my apartment window during a rainy rush hour, and others walking around the Union Square/Ironbound neighborhood. - Headphones are a must for the full experience. Close your eyes, relax, let your ears take it in and feel free to ease into city slumber.
