Today’s post on Dumbo’s one-entrance, one-exit York Street subway station garnered a number of comments remembering the desolate days before it became a bustling hive of transit activity. Read on to hear what it was like a mere two decades ago.

Comment of the Day

“…back in the ’90s and early 2000s NO ONE got on or off at York Street. The subway could have gone right through the station without stopping and no one would have minded. The station was down right spooky. Times have changed indeed.”
