And on a non transit personal note; on this day 2011 I retired from Metro North after a 38 year career of continuous employment in railroad industry. I think I was about 6 months behind your "pin pulling". We were lucky to get out when we did!To quote Jerry Garcia, "What a long strange trip its been!" |

My recollection is that the M9 bus terminated by Klein's in USQ and was still using old buses into the early 60s, and Mack buses long after they were gone from everywhere else. I vaguely recall newer buses when I went to Stuy in the late 60s. |

Klein's was across 14 St from Mays and on the east side of Bway. The store actually consisted of several buildings that were “connected” by breaking down the walls between them which is why to go from one part of the store to another you would have to walk up or down a few steps. The May's store was originally Orbach's before that store moved tom 34 St. |

That means the Triborough Bridge had just recently opened when my grandfather visited New York in October of 1936. He took a photo of it as he was being driven across it. |
