I think it's different        when you're a local.              I used to catch a cab cross-town weekly, and remember once the dispatch        computer was down. They were back to the old-school dispatcher on a radio        droning out intersections, landmarks and addresses to pick up fares. It felt        like a Mad Men throwback.                     ...
