With the Lex's clumsy pillar arrangement in the street? That might have been okay in the horse and buggy era, but it would be a vehicular nightmare today. And, bear in mind, the Lex was closed for lack of ridership on 10/13/50. From what I have read, lexington Ave never had trolley or bus service, either. The Myrtle might have been saved except for the bad neighborhoods in the 1960's and 70's. But, it needed new cars, structural work, escalators at Bridge/Jay directly to the subway, and the elimination of that idiotic transfer that allowed only riders at B'way/Nassau to get free transfers to the Myrtle at Bridge/Jay. I never understood that one! |
