You sat next to a pool of urine?

Yes, you still get homeless doing stuff like that once in a while. When you
see a car completely empty, something like that probably happened.

Didn't see the movie. 

The 7 train goes mostly through Queens, an outer borough I have little
familiarity with. You're not going get the most attractive neighborhoods by a 
noisy elevated train, or any train for that matter. (Much, if not most, of 
the subway tracks are above ground in the outer boroughs. In Manhattan, very 
little of it is above ground. A few of the lines go over a bridge! [The 
Manhattan Bridge].)
