firstmccmatt Posted June 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 1, 2010 Saw this the other night and thought I would share. Rachel Maddow took an up-close and personal look under 2nd Ave where construction of the line is ongoing. A lot of cool stuff here. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/vp/37408635#37408635 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkStUnder Posted June 1, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 1, 2010 For something from the mainstream media, that was quite detailed from a technical standpoint and very interesting. I am hoping to see a 2nd ave line in my lifetime (I'm 60 now so it might just happen!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted June 2, 2010 Share #8 Posted June 2, 2010 Wouldn't surprise me if she just changed her gender via surgery and be a man. She already looks like a man cuz of the hairdo. I thought she was a guy with a higher tone voice. Talk about identity crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted June 2, 2010 Share #13 Posted June 2, 2010 Yikes, a SAS coversation becoming a Rachel Maddow coversation?!? Maybe this forum could be called the NYC Random Forum, lol XD... Yeah, this is really the epitome of random. It must be sheer coincidence that the news article was written by her, but of course that has nothing to do with the actual discussion about her now does it...

firstmccmatt Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share #16 Posted June 3, 2010 Well, the actual discussion looks awkward and a bit inappropriate for discussion, was expecting some real discussion about SAS, not about a TV personality, ... AMEN! Let's try to keep it about the SAS and NOT about people or their sexual preferences. Yes, Rachel Maddow is butch... Woop-dee-doo! Anyway, back to the actual topic at hand. I thought it was really cool that the tunnel boring machine is basically a big inchworm with a lot of drills on it. I'm such a geek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted June 3, 2010 Share #17 Posted June 3, 2010 Yes I also agree. This is about the Second Avenue Subway and not about Rachel Maddow. Stay on topic girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R110B Posted June 3, 2010 Share #18 Posted June 3, 2010 Haha any progress is great news in my eyes now mta can finaly say they got a new line in the last 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T to Dyre Avenue Posted June 4, 2010 Share #19 Posted June 4, 2010 Agreed about the progress, but what about the Archer Avenue and 63rd Street lines that opened in 1988 and 1989? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted June 4, 2010 Share #20 Posted June 4, 2010 ...and you won't find any men in -her- apartment! No men unless you count her... I still don't think it will open anytime soon. It's just a matter of time before they stop work, maybe with the next 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted June 4, 2010 Share #21 Posted June 4, 2010 Agreed about the progress, but what about the Archer Avenue and 63rd Street lines that opened in 1988 and 1989? The Archer segement has done nothing but deteriorate ever since it was built. Seems like really shoddy construction work given how young those segments are. 63rd-Lex would look real good when that fake wall is taken down so the other side of the platform can be used for service.

Joe Posted June 4, 2010 Share #22 Posted June 4, 2010 I use the Sutphin Blvd station on the Archer Ave. Line quite frequently and one thing has always startled me: the leaks from the ceiling...when it hasn't rained for days. I could only imagine what is leaking from that ceiling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted June 4, 2010 Share #25 Posted June 4, 2010 Heh that's nothing...my friend told me that the Queensbridge - 21st Street station was vandalized before it ever saw service. As for the Archer Avenue stations, I agree that they look shot. It's funny how some of the older stations that didn't undergo renovation yet look ten to a hundred times better than the Archer Avenue stations, or any new station for that matter. Hell, the old South Ferry was (and probably still is) ten times better looking than the new South Ferry station is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
