Posted by Joe on Wed Dec 1 12:51:00 2021, in response to Re: History of Q18 Thirtieth Avenue, posted by X-Astorian on Wed Dec 1 12:27:01 2021. Many thanks to X-Astorian, who customarily is informative and precise. In one of the few times I was executor of a will, I researched a friend born at home on 100th Street, Corona. In his early life, he lived when the street was changed from a name (which I now forget) to a numbered street (a continuation of Jackson Heights), and finally about 1922 100th Street. X-Astorian correctly shows how the implementation of the Philadelphia Plan was done over several years.--- It appears that there was only one previous name of 30th Avenue, namely Grand Avenue. --- At the 65th Street station on the R local, a group of tiles spell the old name Rowan Street. --- I favor station designations as 33 St.- Rawson Street because they remind the traveler that it is not Manhattan. |
