Posted by Terrapin Station on Wed Nov 21 21:02:01 2007, in response to 42nd-34th/6th closed mezzanine.....what crime(s) occured there?, posted by El-Train on Wed Nov 21 19:45:06 2007. Before I get to that, just wanted to know: Is it an old expression, or were/are the full-length IND mezzanines really similar in size to airport hangars?How are we going to help you with that? Figure out how big the proverbial "airport hanger" is. Then figure out how big a full IND mezzanine is. Then compare. Shouldn't take you too long. I must say I am impressed by these mezzanines. The IND was indeed the luxury line of he city. How do you equate big empty plain undecorated spaces with "luxury"? I don't. I'd consider the original IRT much more luxuries. Speaking of the latter, was there a time in which you could walk from 6th Ave to 8th Ave entirely underground? This was already answered, but why did you think that it was possible that maybe you couldn't walk all the way underground? If so would that have been the longest underground walk in the city? Would it have been longer than the walk from 6th to 8th at 14 St? If not, then how could it have been the longest in the city? Just off the top of my head, a longer walk I can think of "in the city" would be from 31st (and a half) and 8th to 5th and 42nd via Penn Station, Gimbel's Passageway, 35th to 40th passageway, and the connection to 5 Av on the (7), assuming they were all open at the same time. |
