There's nothing wrong with the old stuff, as that is what was popular at the time the subway was built. The renovations should preserve this.However, as others mentioned too, there is absolutely NO reason the MTA should use old design in the new stations it may build, such as on the 2nd Ave subway. I would not want to see old fashioned mosaics there, and there is absolutely no reason for them to do that in the new stations, they SHOULD be of modern design....just like the old stations should keep the historic flavor. I would also not want to see the 63rd St or Archer stations revert to a old mosaic design either, they don't belong there, but again, that certainly doesn't mean that they should keep all the crap renovations from the 70-80's covering over the beauty that was finally recaptured on Broadway and other recent retro renovations. Each style has it's place. |
