#44 HOT OVER 40! 2ND AVE SUBWAY CENTRE - 84TH & 2ND AVE - PHASE 1 7/25/13




80 YEARS IN THE MAKING ...
YES PHASE I OF THE 2ND AVE SUBWAY VOICE IS COMPLETED AT THE NOW OPEN COMMUNICATIONS CENTRE ON 84TH & 2ND AVE.




 It was grand fun listening to the interactive video and narration that I recorded in January. You can hear all about the plans from inception in 1890 through today!


 I was given a wonderful memento -  a 350 million year old piece of NYC, from deep in the bowels of Manhattan, I am holding history in my hands.  Schist Rock - from the Paleozoic era - very cool. 

There is a wonderful interactive video series of pics, movies and narration - all about how this marvel of engineering has finally come to pass.  A great experience for kids and adults alike.  Hope to see you there! 






The subway will help alleviate crowding on the current Lexington Ave lines and shave off 10 minutes or more in commuting time for thousands of New Yorkers.  And in the city where a "NY minute" means money, well that is priceless!
