Forgotten NY

8/30. In the summer of 2010 I followed the twisting, turning route of Fresh Meadow Lane, which runs for a couple of miles from Flushing Cemetery south to 69th Avenue and Utopia Parkway (the much younger parkway assumes the southern portion of Fresh Meadow Lane's old route from 69th Avenue south to Jamaica Estates).

9/6. Three boroughs have a major road called 3rd Avenue: Manhattan's 3rd Avenue runs from Cooper Square north to the Harlem River and officially extends into the Bronx as Third Avenue (it was so named when the elevated train was extended into the Bronx in the 1880s). Brooklyn's 3rd, the subject of today's FNY page, runs from Flatbush Avenue downtown without interruption all the way to Shore Road in Bay Ridge.
