Yankee Pride on the Uptown B...

Ok, so this entry is gonna be short and sweet...only 5 stops today on the uptown B Line..First stop, 155th and 8th avenue...not too much here really..just a pretty general station..we were anxious to move onto the next one...

which was a heavy hitter..161st aka Yankee Stadium..a real uniqueness at this station equipped with escalators, glass elevators, the whole shee-bang! The seats on the platform, which are typically wooden benches, were sleek chairs sitting upright against the station wall..this station was of course a very crowded one, with many tourists and Yankee fans in tow!

Next, was 167 and Grand Concourse...also not too much to talk about, very general station with a very amazing view outside..

167th was followed by 170th and 175th, both on the Grand Concourse line..and I must say not too much to report this time around...all stations were very standard, except for the Yankee Stadium stop.

a very quick, but good days full of workk..until next trek..over n outt..linzz

The Bronx

Today, I explore the last few stops uptown on the B line. This part of the line takes me into the Bronx. I cover Tremont Avenue to Bedford Park Boulevard along the Grand Concourse. I am solo today and at this point it is mid June so I am fearful a the stagnate subway platforms. Luckily it was tolerable and the humidity underground was minimal. Tremont Avenue was typical however, when I was waiting on the platform to board the train to the next stop I spotted a guy doing push-ups while he waiting for the train. It was quite bizarre but then again this in NYC. Gotta love it. The next few stops were quite similar. I did gallivant outside of a few stops and felt a bit uneasy as I did stand out in the Bronx but that difference makes this project all the more exciting. I wish I had more to say about this trip but I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
