  1. Me also. I see 70(6) Express was last active on January 29th.

  2. Congratulations, my friend!

  3. M.T.A.'s bad 1976: August 27th (Friday) 70(EE); (K); (F) Brooklyn Express cancelled. 70(CC) 70(E) switched southern terminals. 70(GG) shortened to Smith-Ninth Streets. Also in 1976 SAS left out of Capital Budget. In 1975: subway tokens increased from 35 to 50 cents; 70(SS) Culver Shuttle closed May 11th. A little bit of good news: the Rockaways double fare was ended with the new 50 cents token.

  4. No, and it's an intersting story, NX Express. The SAS actually was going to run to The Bronx. In 1974, the plan was to reactivate the old NYW & B ROW south of East 180th Street (and stations) for the SAS. A connector was going to be built at Whitlock Avenue. A branch was going to be built from the Dyre Avenue Line to Co-Op City. If this had been built as planned, the (5) would've run to Co-Op City, the (6) would've terminated at Whitlock Avenue, the (N) would've run to Dyre Avenue via 63d Street and Second Avenue and the (V) would've run Whitehall to Pelham Bay Park via Second Avenue. The 70(8) would've been given a new ROW alongside Park Avenue in The Bronx. Sadly, the Fiscal Crises began hitting in 1975 and the M.T.A. had a bad 1976. Only four sections of Second Avenue were completed - all in Manhattan.

  5. The Third Avenue Line. If you look at a Bronx Map, it's really not that narrow between Third/Webster Avenues and Westchester/Southern and the Concourse. When the 70(8) ran, it provided a nice alternative, especially along Bronx Park and The Botanic Garden on Webster and Gun Hill. Which is why we got the BX55 and which to this day makes the same stops that the 70(8) did.

  6. Kind of - I work for BK (Burger King). Nice people to work for. Average right around forty hours at $9 per. That oven story is so sick! :tdown: Glad the little one is going to be okay.

  7. Not too good an idea to take the (4)<4> off Jerome, I think. Maybe better to have the (Q) or (T) serve Third and Webster narrowing that Middle Bronx gap that we have and if East Gun Hill is wide enough, extending it past White Plains to at least the Gun Hill Road (5) Dyre Avenue station. The (U)(Z) and (Y) look nice.

  8. Hola! I just got home from work and your nice subway map was the first thing I looked at. Busy today for Saint Patrick's Day - a lot of customers were wearing green and one was even wearing a (G) shirt! :)

  9. Good job. my friend! You've not only extended the (F) to Hollis and Queens Village, you've got the (E) on a new Queens route! I lke it.

  10. No, I haven't, NX Express. Windows Live One Care is still working and is due to end on August 14th. I'll likely wait and see if they e-mail me about ending earlier.

  11. Thanks. Is Spyware Doctor reputable/good?

  12. Hi: Not much. Microsoft is ending Windows One Care and I have until August when my subscription ends to decide what to do for antivirus/spyware protection. Maybe I'll go with Windows Defender. Windows One Care cost $49.95 for one year and has been good. I bought it in August after my free three month Norton antivirus/spyware trial that came with my new laptop in June ran out.

  13. Hi NX Express, Thank you! No, I turned 47 yesterday. Born March 4, 1963 when President John F. Kennedy was in office. :)

  14. No, I don't and I haven't seen Roku Six lately, either.

  15. Hi, I saw his comment on your profile page and thought you were leaving the forums and not just for the night. My bad!

  16. Hi. You're not upset with me and we're still friends? I've been worried you might be. Did you see that I registered at your and Kingsbridge Bus' site. I chose a smilie as my avatar.

  17. Soitenly! Actually, I don't notice my post count. If Harry and Zach say I'm a "Senior Member" that's cool.

  18. Let's just say I'm "catching up". Photos really shouldn't count in your post total. Plus I'm a "Senior Member" which means I can't go any higher.....unless But we have Y2Julio, Caith Sith, East New York, Metsfan plus Zach and Harry.

     

    How (R) Ya, NX Express?

  19. Gotcha! :) By the way, I like the look of both your and Kingbridge Bus' Profile Pages.

  20. So true! Sometimes it's hard to say no. Is it okay to start a new thread?

  21. Only the threads I like, little buddy!

  22. Yes, I did. Very funny :) Sorry, I didn't know you had declined. A lot of Social Groups, eh?

  23. Trying to catch up, eh? You"re doing a fine job! :P
