I remember taking the Bx42 way back when; The run started in front of the store which was already closed when I was a youngster in the 80's. The Bx4 now originates on the side street at Bergen Av. My, how time flies! Hearns is now a variety of stores. Verizon, Dr. Jays, a Gamestop, and a Fish Market to name a few.I don't recall the Woolworth's Store; HL Green and McCrory's lasted until the early 90's, as did Pisers. My father purchased an old style GE TV from there (25", in the sylish wood grain cabinets offered for that time). Alexander's was on 3rd Av between East 152nd and East 153rd Sts; now a Conway's store. In the 80's it also had an annex (a separate store) which was mainly for electronics. But getting back to the topic of trains, I did not get the privilege of riding the 3rd Av El. Operation of the El had already folded when I was born in '75. Missed it by two years, shucks! -Stef |
