My uncle used to live near 146th for many years, so it was pretty trippy to see that an El used to run above their street and Jamaica Ave. His family had lived there for decades,; wonder how life must've been with the El rumbling on a daily basis. No wonder Jamaica Ave. is so wide. Kinda makes me take all the air and sunlight for granted.What was it about the Archer extension that took so long to open? I read about a Mafia scandal and the stations actually being completed years before opening, but I'd like to hear it in greater detail. |
