Modern subway tunnel 2

07/28/04

More from the 1970s subway tunnel beneath Manhattan: the mammoth, graf-covered ten-level emergency exit. And at the far end, a cavernous, stair-crossed, pitch-black chamber of bare concrete, perhaps 150 feet tall, 200 feet long and 60 feet wide, waits to grow up and someday become an entrance to the Second Avenue subway.

More at LTV: The Red Tunnel, Level 10, The NorthSide, and The Larger Entrance.

Accessing prohibited sections of the subway can be hazardous or fatal. Do not attempt it.

Modern subway tunnel 1

07/26/04

This tunnel deep beneath Manhattan was bored in the 1970s as a provision for the still-unbuilt Second Avenue subway and has only rarely been used by passenger trains. Here, in one of the deepest portions of the New York subway system, a W train, far from its assigned route, snoozes on an abandoned platform; its lights are off but its air conditioning occasionally kicks in.

More at LTV: The Red Tunnel, Level 10, The NorthSide, and The Larger Entrance.

Five boroughs

07/06/04

I decided to introduce a bit of randomness into my travels by randomly picking one street in each borough out of the index of my Hagstrom's and taking one photo on each street.

William Avenue, City Island, The Bronx

West 24th Street, Coney Island, Brooklyn

East 101st Street, Upper East Side, Manhattan

Troutman Street, Bushwick/"Ridgewood", Queens

Draper Place, New Springville, Staten Island

Staten Island was a bit of a fiasco: Hagstrom's showed Draper Place across the street from where it actually was, so I had to make a second trip all the way out there to find it. The computerized version of Hagstrom's is the worst monstrosity perpetrated on New York cartography since the 1972 Vignelli subway map.

The 666 Laundromat, for which this site is named, can be seen in a brief scene in HBO's new film Everyday People. In the scene, about 28 minutes in, two of the laundromat employees are eating lunch, sitting on red benches in front of the laundromat's red storefront.
