EE Broadway Local Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share #21 Posted December 14, 2009 whats the point to this, you can just go on wikipedia and find answers? True, but the point, like in our Surface Transit and Rapid Transit trivia threads is to have fun and test your knowledge. Those two threads (plus our Guess The Location thread seem popular so I thought maybe a general New York City trivia thread might match - fitting in everything else the other three don't cover.
