What does a silly challenge have to do with you being wrong? What if someone doesn't live near NYC? You would not admit that you are wrong because you wouldn't be able to buy them breakfast? |

This is the same guy who insists he's spoken to people who have visited 76th Street. So now it's pretty clear to everyone that he is no in the least bit trustworthy. |

I was thinking about this thread two days ago when I was on the JR Parkway. That road is not as extreme as some claim, aside from the stretch between Cypress Hills and the Jewish Cemeteries. The rest of the road, while surely below the other more upgraded parkways is still drivable at 55-60. |

It was worse before the work in the mid 80's. The lanes were narrower and the divider was very low, like a curb. To me the worst part is E/B just after Metropolitan when it goes under Queens Blvd by the Union Tnpk Station.Now if you want a really hairy stretch of old parkway try the Taconic Pkway in Putnam County between Rt 84 and a few miles south of the Pudding Street intersection, especially Southbound.

What a drive that was... |

Now if you want a really hairy stretch of old parkway try the Taconic Pkway in Putnam County between Rt 84 and a few miles south of the Pudding Street intersection, especially Southbound.It is very, very hairy and I have done that many times but it cannot be compared - - not in any stretch of the imagination - - to U.S. 202 Eastbound coming off the Bear Mountain Bridge into Westchester County. Just remember DO NOT BLINK after making that right turn after coming off the bridge, you are in the most hair raising downhill twisting experience in NY State. |

The Taconic is still a drive - - I breath a sigh of relief when I cross mile 38 northbound (for I84) or mile 24 southbound (entering Westchester county when it becomes 3 lanes).Mileposts 24 through 38 in Putnam county are very dangerous in the worst conditions. The day of the 2010 blizzard Sunday, I opted to use the NY State Thruway all the way down. Even that highway was BAD!! |
