The Q at Parkside

(for those for whom the Parkside Q is their hometrain)

News and Nonsense from the Brooklyn neighborhood of Lefferts and environs, or more specifically a neighborhood once known as Melrose Park. Sometimes called Lefferts Gardens. Or Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. Or PLG. Or North Flatbush. Or Caledonia (west of Ocean). Or West Pigtown. Across From Park Slope. Under Crown Heights. Near Drummer's Grove. The Side of the Park With the McDonalds. Jackie Robinson Town. Home of Lefferts Manor. West Wingate. Near Kings County Hospital. Or if you're coming from the airport in taxi, maybe just Flatbush is best.

Say It Ain't True, Q!

This is devastating news, and I really don't want to talk about it right now:


Shuttle buses will replace all Q subway service between Pacific Street and Prospect Park during the weekends of Jan. 7-9, Jan. 14-16, Jan. 21-23, Jan. 28-30, Feb.  11-13, Feb. 18-20 and Feb. 25-27.
Southbound Q trains operate express between Kings Highway and Brighton Beach during the weekend of March 17-19.

Good time for neighborhood bonding?

On the bright side, this means free trips to/from Park Slop and Fort Green on those days.

Yeah it has gotta be true. I eat/sleep/breath Q. The signals are all off. They are red when the train pulls into the station at Parkside. Ditto for the B.
Anything that the Q tracks touch? Probably have major signal problems. And the Q has been slower for the past say 6 months.
