Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

Honestly, how much effort would it take to maintain it? A fresh coat of paint every now and then. Clean the windows. Ask the MTA for a few logo stickers to replace the peeling ones. It sits right in front of Boro Hall. Keep it maintained for crying out loud!
They spent , and are still still spending, tens of millions of dollars on Helen's Atrium. Hey Crappy, how about giving us an update on that boondoggle as well?
A rusting subway car tourist kiosk
A condemned parking garage
An empty pedestal where a beautiful statue once stood
A bloated administration
A disgusting subway station.
Where am I ?
Tourist kiosk? I have never seen it open!
This is an embarrassment to the Borough! Much like the politicians who run this place
Katz doesn't care. You should see what she looks like when she's walking around the neighborhood in the mornings. The subway car looks better than her!
Give Curtis a paint brush. This way he wil have a real job instead of making a fool of himself an Channel 1.
Quote "Where am I"
Sometimes I get lost in Queens because I can no longer recognize some parts and streets. I asked myself the same thing trying to find King of Corona. Driving down Roosevelt ave was mind-blowing. Hookers were on almost every side street and even walking in stalled traffic like they do in Tijuana. "Qué necesita fecha" "Qué necesita fecha" "do you want date" ?
More like East LA, Mexico or some slum in Brazil take your pick ?
Im no expert but that dont look like no IRT #7 train car (the epitome of Queens) From what I remember riding them to the 64 fair and Aviation High-school in the 70s.
They were originally blue with big bay windows with oval edges. I think they tilted out also
---definitely NOT square sliding windows. Somethings not right here, looking at the subway.org that car appears to be a R36 that ran in the Bronx-Manhattan. If so why did Estelle Cooper and the MTA fool the people ?
They were called Red Birds.
Needs a bunch of anti burro hall graffiti to spiff it up.
Red Birds were originally blue with a white stripe and called BLUEBIRDS.
Most people born in Queens in the 60s and earlier called them Bluebirds.
Ed Koch painted them in "Broad Street Red" sacrificial coatings to combat graffiti.
If the sacrificial top surface is vandalized the crap can be removed around 2 times using a combination of graffiti removal solvent and high-pressure washer.
The sacrificial top surface (anti graffiti coating)is then wiped back on and ready for the next graffiti attack. These #7 trains based in the neglected unsecured Corona yards had to be hit with caustic solvent & power washed so many times they rusted something awful along the chassis line. (As we see in the photo)
When a borough president passes on they can use the red bird for the body to lie in state. Such is the sad state of our borough. These burros keep on electing the pols that piss on them.
Burro hall is never embarrassed by anything. The reason the hall was placed in the middle of nowhere to begin with is so that the outlaws who have used it for a canyon hideout could conduct their shady business without much public notice. Queens is the only true embarrassment here. It's the bumpkin borough.
