Your Metromedia Station in New York

Bernie Wagenblast, a veteran New York radio traffic and transit reporter, sent me this picture taken at the New York Transit Museum, located in the abandoned Court Street subway station in downtown Brooklyn. The museum displays many restored New York subway cars, complete with period advertisements. Bernie thoughtfully spotted this one and sent it to me.

Speaking of Reunions

The Ballroom, The Matinee, and the Modernaires

A  feature, “The Milkman’s Modernaires” was published on this site in December, 2012.  Now, with new text, photos and audio added about the group and the “Make Believe Ballroom,”  the time seemed right for a rehearing.
