Living in Washington Heights, across from the tallest natural point in Manhattan meant that except for the lights flickering once nothing happened.

Upload: More Photos of the odd Hillside Avenue (F) Stations

Last week on my way back from my Far Rockaway LIRR trip I made a point to revisit the outer F Queens Blvd/Hillside Avenue line stations because my previous photo essay did not do them justice because they had few photos of entrances, I’m quite glad I did each stop has wide mezzanines (my favorite […]
