Posted by W.B. on Sun Aug 17 13:25:36 2025, in response to [PHOTOS] The Myrtle Ave. Bridge St. Station, posted by Bill Newkirk on Sun Aug 17 09:31:27 2025. Yep. Just shows that what is taken for granted in the "it'll always be there" sense could be wiped out in a New York minute, no trace whatsoever that it'd ever existed.Oh, and "American" in the '71 photo - that later became Amoco, and has since been swallowed up by BP (what used to be called British Petroleum). I remember for decades on West 37th Street near where one of the Lincoln Tunnel underpasses was, an ad for BP on the wall of one of the buildings (since demolished). I can't remember the exact slogan, but it looked like "It's got gas!" The copyright on that was 1970. It lasted right up to the '80's. |
