Pre Xmas gathering at my sister-in-law's
Instead of taking the LIRR from Penn I decided to take it from Jamaica. I took the "J" Train (Jamaica Avenue el) from Essex and was fortunate to have a semi-clean front window.
I hadn't been on the Jamaica Avenue el in the daytime since high school. When I was going to school in Brooklyn, Bishop Loughlin, I sometimes took the Myrtle Avenue el to Myrtle Avenue changed to the Jamaica Avenue el to 168th Street and then the buses home. This was instead of the more direct route: "GG" Clinton Washington to Queens Plaza and then the "E" to 169th Street and then a walk to the 165th Street bus terminal.
Because of the length of the trip and the limitations of Youtube and anyone who views the video, I broke it into six segments:
- Essex to Marcy over the bridge
- Marcy to Myrtle
- Myrtle to Broadway Junction
- Broadway Junction to Cypress Hills
- Cypress Hills to Woodhaven
- Woodhaven to Parsons Archer
