"Did you ever ride the Myrtle Ave el at night, before it was torn down?I did and it was scary, believe me! " I don't think crime was a factor in the demise of Myrtle. Did you ever ride the J train after midnight? I did (early 80s) on a regular basis & thankfully lived to tell about it. Between B'Way Myrtle & Crescent St was the "hot" zone. Just stay awake, mind your business & minimal eye contact was a must. Eyes in the back of your head would help. Those trains were very lightly patronized, but there were enough sleepers & drunks aboard to make it worth their while for the bad guys. Often, the conductor would lock themselves in their cab. |
