They are usually better-dressed as well; really good neighbors all around. The only problem we sometimes have with them is that they think they are entitled to vote when they are not. Sometimes keeping them out of polling places where they don't belong is difficult. |

Sometimes I would take the West End elevated too and get off on New Utrecht Avenue and walk home, which was about 5-8 minutes longer than my home Sea Beach |

So, two gentlemen past away only hours apart in our small town.One gentleman was a prominent wealthy LIBERAL LAWERY, while the other gentleman was an independent, middle class member of the community. Our town has only one Funeral Home, so almost all of our citizens use their services. The Lawyer's family picked out a top of the line casket, and brought his finest hand tailored shirt's and most expensive suits from his extensive closet. Our modest middle class gentleman's family brought in a five year old suit, one he hardly wore , he would have a decent send off. The Funeral Home worked through the night to prepare both gentlemen for the viewing. The Funeral Director was very pleased with his staff's work and gave them the rest of the day off. The small town was small enough that everyone knew everyone else, so there would be a large turn out of people to pay their final respects. Both of the immediate families arrive at the same for the initial viewing and were shocked. The staff, in their hast had dressed and placed the wrong bodies it the wrong caskets. Both grieving families expressed their dissatisfaction and demanded that it be made right! The staff had been given the remainder of the day off. The director had his assistant, the only other employee still there, bring both families to a refreshment area for a selection of pastries and beverages, while he would address the mix-up. It wasn't long, about fifteen minutes, when the director returned to the refreshment area, and announced both gentlemen were ready for viewing. The families were still having their refreshments, but began to go to the separate viewing rooms. Both families were pleased with the directors prompt action. The director stepped back to allow both of the families their privacy. The assistant, approached the director and whispered in his ear " How did you ever managed to correct such a huge fuck up?" "Suits, caskets and viewing rooms" and in less than fifteen minutes? Smugly, with out moving his lips he whispered back " It was easy, I just switched heads!" |

The late NJ governor, Brendan T Byrne put it the best way- "When I die, I want to be buried in Hudson County (NJ), so I can remain active in politics!". |

There were early plans to connect the West End line with the IND subway, as I recall. Unsure if they were part of the IND Second System proposals. |

Second system.The plan had the Culver And West End hook connecting at Tenth Avenue,then continuing along Ft Hamilton avenue. One branch split off heading to the Staten Island Narrows Tunnel... while the other branch went to 86th st. It was comprehensive,and would have dealt with large gaps in the Transit network that still exists to this day in south Brooklyn,And Staten Island. This is one particular route that Should have been built. |

Every now and again one of the local Bay Ridge papers prints vintage articles and a few years ago they printed one from 1939 concerning the Culver Line. It made reference to two concerns. One was the chronic car shortage on the BMT and the other was the congestion caused by the presence of the Culver Line in the 4th Ave subway. Both those problems were expected to be relieved by the routing of the “new city subway” over the Culver via a connection then under construction. Considering that the bMT had a congestion problem prior to WWII, It’s doubtful that the situation has changed significantly over the years so the only thing that reconnecting the Culver to the 4th Ave subway would accomplish would be to add to the existing congestion. |
