UlmerPark B6 Posted July 10, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 10, 2008 well you should do the brighton stations bet. church ave. and brighton beach. don't go into the tunnels' cause then 1). the police or might yell at you 2). it sucks in the tunnel because then it's not more open and free-spaced.

The windows may be different but at least you don't have a slanted window in front of you and the window is wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
