But I am surprised you did not include the old architectural elements they've added to the first level, where the token booth is. Peter: 17th Jun 2005 - 14:04 GMTGGP: i did take photos, but they were sub-par thanks to the lighting... but here they are!
Meister: 18th Jul 2005 - 15:05 GMTAt 3 AM in March 1999 after a party around the corner my girlfriend at the time barfed in this station when we were waiting for a train. I always liked this station. It was the last normal one before things got scary. Back in 1998/1999 this area was not like it is today. anon (cache-mtc-ae10.proxy.aol.com): 9th Jun 2006 - 02:34 GMTabsolutely! what a reminder of the past for me....i lived right their for the first 19 years of my life. Joanne O'Connor-Buscema: 25th Feb 2007 - 15:33 GMTFlashback to 1972 and riding the subway to Bishop McDonnell High School on Eastern Parkway. Thanks for the memories! Joanne H.J.H.: 7th Jun 2007 - 23:33 GMTThank you for these photos. They evoke memories of when I lived there and this was my subway stop. I love Brooklyn, NY; Eastern Parkway, and the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
anon (205.214.176.27): 1st Jul 2009 - 15:26 GMTThank you, I rode the subway when the lines were known as the IRT or BMT. I lived at 135 Eastern Parkway and attended PS 241 Dan Hoagland: 3rd Dec 2012 - 17:44 GMTThe apartment building where we lived was directly across the street from the Brooklyn Museum.(175 eastern Parkway) My father was the "Super" from 1952-1965. We moved in February 1966. I remember that train station only too well. Thanks for the pics. Ed Hoagland: 3rd Dec 2012 - 22:57 GMTI paid a few visits to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden within the past two years, and the look of the Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum station really impressed me. The improvements do the station justice, although a short walk through other nearby parts of neighborhood show much work still needs to be done. The original(?) tile stations signs are equivalent to a time machine, in that they can make you feel you are back in 1965 (or earlier). They are also marvelous to view up close, representing the past in the present. While I missed the old wrought iron gates of the old BBG, the new look is quite nice, and the garden itself appears to have changed little. It is still a quiet oasis in the middle of the EP thoroughfare - provided you can ignore the jets overhead... Comment on this article..[previous] :: [next] |
