"Do you think 3rd Avenue would be what it is today if the el was still there?"They should have kept either the 3d or 2nd Ave El for not only mass transit needs but for tourism ala the Loop in Chicago. Rebuild it to heavier steel car specs with the Swiss Chalet stations & lattice style supports to remove any sterile feel. Thus making 19th century technology both pretty & functional at the same time. But real estate $$$ speaks louder than voices of nostalga & necessity. |
