My favorite name for a subway line is “the Sea Beach Line”. So evocative of a taking a trip to the beach.

lol Benson- I grew up calling the N line the Sea Beach, as well as the West End (old B,now D?), then as I got older I realized that the names I knew were really not used anymore. I learned these old names from the same older relatives of mine who, when they wanted you to hold on the telephone would say ” Hold the wire”…
PeteBklyn- Culver bought up/owned much of the land on the F-cut, influential in his day, I believe he owned the rail-line pre consolidation..
LOL
Pacifico was a little on the chilly side.

You were in a suit, you overdressed loser. No friction.
It was chilly that night, infinite, I wore my down vest, if I recall.

too much information
“Bad night, dibs? Why start the day w/ friction?’
dibs said sometimes too much lube cuts down the pleasure.
I also had CompuServe c.’91-’92.
