FORGOTTEN BOSTON (beta version) New! CONDENSED POP (new post, 2/20)



Apologies for the latest outage....

2/23. NYC's landmarking of Bedford-Stuyvesant's Alice and Agate Courts has now inspired me to give short streets and alleys a more in-depth look, and so, "Places Matter" is inaugurated. FNY will periodically take a neighborhood that potentially has some hidden streets ripe for revelation and expose them for FNY readers. We begin with Park Slope, which has a number of one-block streets, most of them coming in pairs.
2/16. The NYC subways are rife with errors in spelling and directional signs, much to be expected in a system now (as of February 2009) almost 105 years old. This page describes about 30 examples of incorrect or misleading signage to be found in the 725-mile-long subway.
