Jerusalem Avenue Bus Trivia


nostalgia

Recommended Posts


I just joined so I don't know if these questions were asked.

 

1) Where were the original termini of the Hempstead-Seaford routes? (Yes, Jerusalem Avenue had two routes between these locations)

 

2) Where was the garage?

 

:cool:

 

Te N52 ran from the original Hempstead Bus Terminal to Merrick Road and Jackson Avenue in seaford.

 

The garage was on Jerusalem Ave just wst of Meadoebrook Road in North Merrick

Was that what is now a big field?

 

Probably the development on the south side of Jerusalem at the Intersection of William Street [GMAPS]<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=40.693191,-73.568822&num=1&t=h&gl=us&ie=UTF8&ll=40.691605,-73.567618&spn=0.002888,0.005536&z=14&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=40.693191,-73.568822&num=1&t=h&gl=us&ie=UTF8&ll=40.691605,-73.567618&spn=0.002888,0.005536&z=14&source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small>[/GMAPS]

Actually, Jerusalem Avenue's Hemsptead termini was S J Klein's on Hempstead Turnpike near the West Hempstead Train Station. The bus didn't pull into Hempstead Terminal but stopped across the street. It continued west and made a left on North Franklin and Right on Fulton Avenue, left on Hempstead Avenue and right turn somewhere to get to Hempstead Turnpike (which changed its name from Fulton Avenue.)

 

The southern Hempstead-Seaford route followed the northern route as far as Merrick Avenue. Coming down Merrick Avenue, the bus turned left on Camp Avenue to Beltagh Avenue, Right on Old Mill, Left of Park, right on Wantagh Avenue, Left on Railroad Avenue continuing to Seaford Avenue, Left on Waverly Avenue, right on Jackson Avenue, and right into the parking lot of a small shopping center that used to be called Verity Plaza. :tup:
