One day while entering the Whitehall Street stop at the tip of Manhattan, a woman asked me how to get to 14th Street. So I asked, Manhattan or Brooklyn? I worked in Brooklyn then, so I did not think the question out of line, there is a 14th Street in Brooklyn. I was often asked how to get to Fulton Street, and so I followed with the same question. In any case, she looked at me as if I had asked a very strange question, and grumbled down the stairs. Folks have got to have some sense of geography, at least to know what borough that they are traveling to.

Sometimes people have to word their questions better.

Many times people would ask where they'd get the L train to 14 Street.
I'd ask what Avenue they want.
After all there are no stations on the L line called 14 Street.
There's 1 Ave, 3 Ave, Union Sq, 6 Ave and 8 Ave.
When they told me what Ave, I gave them an answer.
When they were (very) annoyed I couldn't read their minds where,
I'd tell them 1 Ave which likely was the last station they wanted.

Could it be that more of the IND Bedford Av Subway was built than previously believed and that the 2 track tunnel your classmate saw was it?

I couldn't find mention of it on the "Brennan" site. Could you maybe paste a URL of the page where he mentions it?

You haven't seen it since because apparently it does not exist. The only mention of the word "Bedford" on his entire site is this:

The original Brighton line ended in 1878 at Bedford Station, at the corner of Atlantic Ave and Franklin Ave

Exactly WHERE is this 600 foot tunnel? Under Bedford-Nostrand station, or curving onto Bedford (towards Fulton) from the station, or what?
