Photo a Whenever: Photo 124. This is a picture of the Interborough Rapid Transit (IRT) 7 train Flushing Line elevated track at Court Square in Queens, NY.
The NYC subway system was built by three different companies, the IRT, the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT), and the Independent Subway System (IND), which was run by the city. Because the subway system was built by competing companies, they didn’t build transfers between their lines, and would even go out of their way to make it difficult to transfer or for the other company to build competing service.
Where this picture is taken, there is also underground service from two IND lines, serving three other trains, the G, E, and M. It wasn’t until June 3rd 2011 that a transfer was built between the IRT 7 line and the IND G,E, and M lines even though the stations are right above one another.
Keith Haring’s ‘Crack Is Wack Playground’ in New York City (more info here)
I’ve driven past this place a thousand times and never knew it was called that. Some city, huh?
This is cool:
In 1986, Keith Haring got a $25 ticket for painting graffiti on a handball court in East Harlem. Perhaps sensing the crack epidemic of the 1980s reaching a fever pitch, the Parks Department contacted him months later with a request to finish the mural.
