Back to Manhattan, where I found myself scouting less and less frequently (it costs way less to shoot in any of the other boroughs). I started in the Lower East Side, or LES if you’re feeling lazy. I love the building ad for S. Beckenstein Fabrics, complete with arrows pointing to the door that takes…

The Hidden Cemetery on Second Avenue

It would actually make it a 3 (or 4 train back then). The 2 (and the 5) split off and terminate at Flatbush Avenue.
On the contrary, I’m pretty sure the 2 train ran to New Lots and the 3 to Flatbush in those days. While it’s hard to tell by looking at maps from the 1950’s (they don’t label route numbers), the maps from the 1960’s and 70’s depict this pattern of service. As far as I know, the switch didn’t occur until some time between 1978 and 1987.
