HIS pops could tell you stories. SAD part is that Stillwell hasn't changed much over 35+ years from what I've been told by others there. Lemme put it to you this way ... Bensonhurst. :(The BRONX (as you know is FAR more diverse and "integrated" than Brooklyn even TODAY. Do the math. I was "IND" and I hung out with those evil "IND people" that Adam Clayton Powell *made* happen before "full unification." When *I* came on board in 1970, only three years after (ahem "Eunich-i-cation" of the BMT") us "invaders" from the CITY subway were frowned upon every bit as much as the BLET looks down on those "ghetto transit type wannabe's" ... I'm in AWE that any of that managed to survive all these years. :( B division is absolutely a "slower" kinda "country cowpie" compared to the cigar-chomping "push-push-push-push-push" hectic of the IRISH railroad y'all be pulling handle on ... but the ITALIAN railroad has a wonderful kinda laid back "train gets there when it does, arsehole" kinda intervals and if you go 5 minutes late, nobody GIVES a rats ass because you're the first train they've seen in half a day. :) B division is a gas, so long as you don't pay any attention to prima donnas and gaping morons. Think 128th and St Ann's ... I *know* you can find the queen. (grin) |
