8 MILLION STORIES IN THE NAKED CITY . . .

. . . and this is one of them.

The last of the storied checkered cabs to roam the streets of Manhattan was 1N11 and I got to ride in it, along with Andra, back in March of 1998. I still have the cab receipt in a box somewhere.

1N11 was retired from the fleet in 1999.
