It’s A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood: A Look Back At Mr. Rogers

He Had The Ability To Make New York Subway Passengers Break Into Song

Mr. Rogers was on a trip to New York when he attempted to hail a taxicab. When no cars were available he hopped on the subway to reach his destination.

The beloved TV personality thought he would go unnoticed but there was very little chance of that happening. When passengers on the subway spotted him, they all burst out into song, singing the theme to Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. He responded to the on the spot adoration with a big smile, probably because he realized his teachings were in the hearts and minds of the people who grew up watching his TV show.
