(rshsdepot) my nominations for crime: 3rd & Townsend, S.F. & LIRR Flatbush Ave.



My nomination for station knocked down crime:

In late 1970's they knocked down the mission style SP station in San 
Francisco and a trailer home park was put there, the Caltrans station 
moved back a block into a glorified shack...m
this station would be ideal today as I think it would be practically at 
PacBell Park's from gate..a true crime

Also the Brooklyn LIRR terminal which was complete on top, and even had 
the meat hooked platforms on the north end...they knocked this station 
down as others were trying to save it as a landmark...very spiteful, 
only now, some maybe 10 years later is something supposed to be built 
there (a suburban style mall)..this really pissed me off
