Posted by BarnYard on Sat Apr 3 12:15:34 2010, in response to Re: What Is Your Least Favorite Subway Station In NYC?, posted by Osmosis Jones on Sat Apr 3 05:22:08 2010. Sutphin Blvd on Archer Ave.Not only do I think the whole Archer Line is a complete waste of potential & ill conceived,but it is poorly lit(Most IND stations were brighter when opened).It is dark,dingy,decepit. Think about the bigger picture.RailRoad stations were built as gateways to a city.Civic pride dictated the most grandiose palace affordable.(Think of any indusrial giant at the turn of the 20th Century- Buffalo;Chicago;Cleveland;Detroit;Scranton). A visitor from Asia or Europe flys into JFK & avails themselves of the Airtrain.Now they board the system at Sutphin/Archer.Isn't it nice the canopy they pass under on the platform protecting them from leaking water? What first impression do they get? Who was it that said a society can be judged by what architecture it tolerates? |
