Posted by f179dj on Tue Jan 25 21:53:21 2011, in response to Re: 76th St area - Satellite (Re: Q About LTV Squad and 76th Street), posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Jan 25 20:35:18 2011. "By the way, for a while, in Bellerose, one side of Jamaica Ave was Queens and the other side Nassau."Oops it still is; that's where the border is; cross the street and get cheap(er) cigarettes, lol. "Even more odd is that the Queens side of the road was called Jamaica Ave, and the Nassau Side was called Jericho Turnpike!!! " Yeah,well, I grew up here and that was a given. I called it whatever I felt like; all the locals knew the difference. I still call it whatever mood sways me; whatever comes easier. For out-of-towners, I gave them both the Jamaica (showing my roots) and Jericho exits from the Cross Island, not knowing what was posted. "I think more recently, they finally changed that and call both sides of the road Jericho Turnpike on the part with the border." Apparently they agreed to call everything west of the CIP Jamaica Avenue on both sides; and everything east of CIP Jericho Turnpike, Jericho Turnpike on both sides. But there are still some businesses on the Queens (north) side of the border that use Jamaica Avenue as their address. |
