"F" train is for "Funky smelling" train. Ive never smelled a train like that one. It just always stinks.

F train is imo one of the least ghetto trains

If I have a choice between E and F, I’m going with an E

Hence why I said one of the least, just because the E may be better doesn't say that the F isn't too bad either.

Unless people are getting pushed on the tracks over getting bumped on the platform.

That's about every train track but as a quality of life of the train, I believe the A train is much worse.

Broadway Ave? You from around here?

Not OP but I love that part of Brooklyn. Everything’s an avenue, except when it’s a street which may or may not be parallel to the avenue you’re already on.

And folks say Queens is confusing.

I have no idea where "Broadway Ave" is.

I live by Broadway in Brooklyn. I've never heard anyone call it Broadway Ave.

TonyzTone t1_isuq0lb wrote

Factos. It's like calling it Broadway Ave. for the one in Manhattan. It's not "Broadway ____." It's just "Broad Way."

But I just wanted to poke fun at the weirdness of Brooklyn's street layout.

You mean the fact that streets on the opposite sides of Queens Boulevard might be numbered or named differently isn’t how it works elsewhere?

Flatbush, Nostrand & Utica Ave >>>>> 67th Road, 67th Street, 67th Ave, 67th Dr.

This is what I never understand about Brooklyn folks complaining about the 67th Roads-- it actually makes sense.

Like yeah, it's annoying because you think it's only 4 blocks away and turns out it's more. But 67th Road is in between 67th Avenue and 67th Drive. All 3 intersect with either boulevards or streets, not other roads, avenues, or drives.

So, if you ask someone "where is 67th Avenue in comparison to 68th Avenue" you'll get a simple answer: it's north. And how does that compare with 108th Street? They intersect.

Now, where is Utica Avenue in comparison with Snyder Avenue? They intersect. Oh, so avenue's and avenue's intersect? What about "Streets?" They also intersect... except when they don't.

To summarize: in Queens, numbers increase from north to south, east to west. So, 1st Street and 1st Avenue would exist in the NW (technically on Randall's Island) and 250th Street and 250th Avenue would exist in the SE (technically there are only 150 or so avenues but 230+ streets).

Queens can get confusing because you have like 5 competing grids and sometimes an avenue will end/begin where another much higher avenue exists. But using that as a comparison against Brooklyn is laughable. In BK, there's a grid in Greenpoint, another in Williamsburg, another south of Flushing Ave. but it's different than the one in Bushwick. Both of those are different than the Canarsie/East New York grid, while Ocean Avenue establishes another grid but somehow Marine Park gets a grid like Canarsie even though the Flatbush grid bisects them. That Ocean Ave grid only extends until MacDonald at which point the South Brooklyn grid begins but for some reason Fort Hamilton is it's own thing.

Yup! Nothing like getting asked for a cig right after a crackhead flirts with you inside a crown fried chicken.

Does Broadway even have a Crown Fried chicken? It’s more like Krazy Chicken…

It’s an acrid yet sweet smell that you get to know well when you’ve been around that crap long enough and those who do it.
