Well, my father in the 60's and 70's was a daily user of the LL line (which he still calls it to this day), so he was pretty used to it, but he only rode if west of Myrtle Ave. So of course, he often took me on it too. I remember trasferring with him when I was a little kid at Union Square to go home, and we got on the L. This was around 1976 or so, and back then there were always "dark cars" on the R16's or R27-30's where the lights didn't work. Well, we walked into one of these "dark cars" at Union Square, and the smell of "funny weed" filled the car. I remember looking up at my father innocently and say, "what's that smell?"...He just looked down and said, "I don't know, let's move to the next car".... It wasn't till I was a teenager that I smelled that smell again, and then of course the revelation came over me...."Ohhhhhh, that's what that smell was on the L train......" |
