I remember the destruction of the el too, and also as a small child, couldn't understand why they were getting rid of it. I too thought the whole thing was going, and remember riding in the car under it imagining the whole el gone.I remember that stub with the billboard at Sutphin/Jamaica very well, as well as when they first redid the sidewalks along Jamaica AVe where the el was removed. What I truely don't understand is that they cut the subway off from the LIRR at Jamaica, by ending the el at QUeens Blvd (and later 121 St) instead of keeping the Sutphin station for the connection. it was so ridiculous, and all they did by getting rid of the Sutphin station was one extra block of no el. DUMB DUMB DUMB. |
