The twitter people mentioned it here Crazy thing is this is not the first time someone called that out on Twitter. Back in February a Train accidentally punched a the 4th Avenue lineup at Dekalb Avenue and 6 people went off on twitter about this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted April 20, 2018 Share #18286 Posted April 20, 2018 Sometimes you can't be too sure. /s Seriously though, it strengthens the argument for a more centralized route guidance system, eliminating the need to punch for a specific lineup at these critical junctions. Of course, since that's a ways away, a better argument would be to make sure the operators are paying attention to their punches to ensure they choose the correct lineup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prepare to have your world turned upside-down: Luis Vazquez-Willhelm, a Financial District real estate agent who celebrated America's Bicentennial in the neighborhood as a child and lived in the very first apartment complex built in BPC overlooking the WFC construction site and recently built WTC, runs a popular Facebook page called 'FiDi Fan Page', where he trumps up all the new additions and changes to the district, celebrating it as the hottest new residential destination.

They always come up with these stupid names. SoHo=South of Houston Street, TriBeCa=Triangle Below Canal Street and NoMad=North of Madison Avenue... Not exactly creative... Years ago they tried that crap with my neighborhood to jack up the prices even further and it was a bust... NoMa... North of Manhattan... I'll keep Riverdale. Thanks.

These names usually come from real estate brokers trying to hype up a neighborhood to make it sound trendy so they can jack up the rents, and yes it's geared towards transplants that don't know any better. A lot of these trendy neighborhoods were previously dumps... Look at SoHo in the 80s. No one lived there but squadders. TriBeCa was a mix of industrial and residential places and boarded the not so desirable Chinatown (at the time) and look at it now. It's one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the entire City. I've even heard people on the way to my office in the elevator. A bunch of clueless transplants get on and brag about how they live in such and such neighborhood (and overpay in rent), but it's okay because they have subway access... I just sit there laughing to myself... If you said you lived in Downtown in the Financial District years ago, people would likely give you a look because the place was a ghost town after work. No one lived down there. Now there's all of these trendy restaurants opening up, so they have to come up with a "hip" sounding name for it to justify paying $3,500+ a month for a tiny one bedroom or better yet a studio. lol Edited April 20, 2018 by Via Garibaldi 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madison Square... Madison Avenue... It's some made up name either way... I could care less. I had never heard of the term NoMad before until a few years ago when suddenly that area became a hot commodity. I always thought it was North of Madison Avenue due to Madison starting at 23rd street, so in other words, "north" of that area (Madison and 23rd), which is essentially where NoMad is. 2. It's not about "if". As the industries have changed here in NYC and move towards more tech and more finance jobs overall, guys especially in finance are expected to log crazy hours, so they may work 16 - 18 hour days, have a place within walking distance, and then come right back to work. I'm well aware of it. That has nothing to do with the stupid names being created to jack up rents and make previous dumps trendy. That's just the way things are going due to increasingly longer commutes. People in general want to be closer to their jobs as a result. A no-brainer there. Even within the City, there are times when commutes with the bus or the subway can take almost an hour because of congestion or delays for relatively short distances.

What I'm trying to say is that there was weekend construction last week on the express tracks. which made queens bound and trains crawl like bugs, so since I didn't have anything to do after my internship program, I decided to go home but wanted to go home before 6:30.
