Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sat Sep 11 12:27:09 2010, in response to Re: 9/10/77, posted by Koi-PublicTransitIsMyLifeline on Sat Sep 11 00:23:17 2010. I used to ride it when I was a kid. Whenever my mother and I went somewhere on Jamaica Av west of Qns Blvd, I would always ask can we take the train (even though it meant taking the Q49 bus first to Qns Blvd) instead of taking the Q54 bus down Jamaica Av.It like we have the same childhood memories. Every year when I went to Jamaica to get my eyes checked, we'd take the train to the bus. On the way back, we'd stop at McDonalds that was right there for lunch. I used to watch the trains go in and out of Queens Blvd while I ate my Happy Meal. Simpler times. I also remember the day service was cut back to 121st St. Little did I know back then that would be in preparation for the extension to Archer Av. There was such contempt for riders displaced by the 1985 closure that the Q49 stop that was supposed to serve Metropolitan Ave was actually on Hillside Ave. Dumb. |
