Just before the slip for 9 on the northbound there is this concrete walk-way:

Those guys who stand there with duffle coats and notebooks, they´re spotters, right? I thought they were Stobbie stalkers, but the other day they, as I inched forward in traffic, I swear one of them looked straight at my trolley and wrote something in his notebook. Weird.
