I'm a huge fan of single-word stations, makes things very railroad-like.We have had Woodlawn, and now we have Briarwood. Bowery sort of counts too, though not in the same way. In many cases, even two-word stations that relate more to the vicinity than a specific street are nice and practical. I'm not sure why they don't just make it "Kew Gardens," and "Forest Hills." That's how people refer to them in common conversation nowadays anyway. (I lived in Forest Hills for a couple of years). A simple "Jackson Heights" would also simplify a lot regarding that complex. This business of trying to squeeze all of this information into a station name seems so unnecessary, as long as you have good information about each station available and good maps. |
