Jamaica – 179th Street (IND Queens Boulevard Line)
Jamaica – 179th Street is an express terminal station on the IND Queens Boulevard Line of the New York City Subway. Located at 179th Street and Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, Queens, it serves as the northern terminal for the F at all times and a few rush hour E trains. Two of the entrances are located on the corners of Hillside Avenue and Midland Parkway in Jamaica Estates, with a total of 15 entrances to the station.
History
By April 1937, the IND Queens Boulevard Line had been extended up to 169th Street. The 179th Street station (drawn up as 178th Street) had been planned to open around the same time as the rest of the line, with tail tracks and switches installed up to the foot of the station at 178th Street, but construction had been delayed due to the onset of the Great Depression. When the station plans were revisited in the early 1940s, construction was delayed again due to the onset of World War II. Construction of the station began after the war on May 5, 1946.
The bus route is the successor to the 24 Lakeside (Lake Roland) and 29 Boulevard (now University Parkway) streetcar lines.
History
Route 61 under this designation has served its route since 1977. But several other bus and streetcar lines using different designations previously served the same route.
One other bus route in Baltimore transit history used the no. 61 designation, a downtown area parking lot line that operated 1946 to 1949.
13 Queens Boulevard is an American sitcom that aired from March 20 until July 24, 1979.
Premise
The series was about the diverse residents of a Queens apartment complex.
The major residents of the complex were Felicia and Steven Winters (Eileen Brennan and Jerry Van Dyke) who have been happily married for over 15 years. Also living in the complex were Elaine Dowling (Marcia Rodd), a divorcee who was Felicia's best friend; and the Capestros, which included Mildred (Helen Page Camp) and her daughters, Annie (Susan Elliott) and Jill (Louise Williams). Others in the complex included Camille (Karen Rushmore) and Lois (Frances Lee McCain).
A group of 6 Australian friends - white, middle-aged males - combine to compete in a marathon relay swim in treacherous waters off Jamaica. But even before the race begins fractures appear in the relationships, with drug-taking, hidden secrets and personal crises coming to dominate.
Notes
Dedication: The Jamaica portrayed in these pages, and all those who exist there, are works of fiction. This book is dedicated to the facts who got out of the way of a good story.
Reviews
Patrick Ness in The Guardian found that "Alongside Tim Winton's Breath, this is the second excellent novel in as many months to examine masculinity and male friendship in Australian sport, a subject that might seem of limited intrinsic interest. But it's not the song, it's how it's sung, and if Winton is an aria, Knox is early Rolling Stone.."
Queens is the easternmost and largest in area of the five boroughs of New York City, geographically adjacent to the borough of Brooklyn at the western end of Long Island. Coterminous with Queens County since 1899, the borough of Queens is the second-largest in population (behind Brooklyn), with a census-estimated 2,321,580 residents in 2014, approximately 48% of them foreign-born. Queens County is also the second-most populous county in New York, behind the neighboring borough of Brooklyn, which is coterminous with Kings County. Queens is the fourth-most densely populated county among New York City's boroughs, as well as in the United States. If each New York City borough were an independent city, Queens would also be the nation's fourth most populous city, after Los Angeles, Chicago and Brooklyn. Queens is the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world.

Jamaica – 179th Street (IND Queens Boulevard Line)
Jamaica – 179th Street is an express terminal station on the IND Queens Boulevard Line of the New York City Subway. Located at 179th Street and Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, Queens, it serves as the northern terminal for the F at all times and a few rush hour E trains. Two of the entrances are located on the corners of Hillside Avenue and Midland Parkway in Jamaica Estates, with a total of 15 entrances to the station.
History
By April 1937, the IND Queens Boulevard Line had been extended up to 169th Street. The 179th Street station (drawn up as 178th Street) had been planned to open around the same time as the rest of the line, with tail tracks and switches installed up to the foot of the station at 178th Street, but construction had been delayed due to the onset of the Great Depression. When the station plans were revisited in the early 1940s, construction was delayed again due to the onset of World War II. Construction of the station began after the war on May 5, 1946.
