Ascent-Descent mural by artist Biff Elrod at the Christopher Street Station in Lower Manhattan,New York

When I was a teen this was a very dumpy station. Biff Elrod's mural "Ascent-Descent" (showing images of users of the PATH trains, ascending or descending the stairs) originally painted on site in August 1986 as a temporary installation for the Public Art Fund, and later purchased by PATH/Port Authority of NY&NJ, was restored in 1999 just before the incidents of 9/11.

Up or down - which is it ?
