LAST DAYS, MYRTLE AVE. EL

urrent West Village resident Theresa King grew up in Brooklyn riding the Myrtle Avenue Elevated Rail line. Take a trip back in time with her, as the New York Transit Museum presents “Last Day of the Myrtle Avenue El: Photographs by Theresa King.” Opened in 1888 and closed in 1969, the Myrtle Avenue El ran from downtown Brooklyn to Queens, passing through Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Bushwick, Ridgewood, and Middle Village. King’s photographs of its final day pays loving tribute to the wooden train cars and antiquated stations which still hold fond memories for riders. Sept 29 through Feb 28 at the New York Transit Museum (corner of Boerum Place/Schermerhorn St., Brooklyn Heights). Tues - Fri, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sat and Sun, Noon to 5 p.m.; $5 for adults, $3 for children/seniors (62+). Visit www.mta.info/mta/museum and www.theresakingphotography.com. On Sun, Oct 18 at 2 p.m., King will lead a gallery tour.
