Jet Moses Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I have to take a test on 2474 Crotona Ave Saturday morning. If I take a D or C train to Fordham road, could I walk from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS17 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 So what you are telling me it's a f'd up neighborhood. Actually yeah. You shouldn't go near Fordham Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war ensemble Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 As far as I can tell, this is the distance between Fordham Rd off the D train and your final stop. The arrows go from 2474 Crotona Ave to where I think the train will let you off, so follow the arrows backwards. Hope this helps. The area isn't the greatest but there's a nice White Castle nearby (albeit with bulletproof windows). You shouldn't have any problem walking through there at all though--it's not as bad, in my opinion, as people make it out to be. Like everywhere else, just don't start stuff and you're fine. My parents lived for a good few years near that area when they first came over from Ireland. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=s&utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-sk-gm&utm_medium=ha&utm_term=maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say a novena for your safe arrival and return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war ensemble Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Oops, turns out google maps doesn't save an individual URL for each thing. Let me try again in a minute. EDIT: So go to maps.google.com. Click "Get Directions" in the top left corner. In the green "A", type 2474 crotona ave. In the green "B", copy and paste this: Fordham Rd Station @40.862416,-73.897102 . According to this it's a one mile/20 minute walk. Click on the thing that says by car under the green B and click on "Walking", click "Get Directions", and you should be good to go.

Jet Moses Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Fixed Just got back. That neighborhood isn't bad at all. It's just like Bergenline Ave in Union City/West New York. On the way back to the Subway I stopped by Fordham U campus, went in the chapel and said a prayer. I was gonna hop off at 161st to see the Yanks new stadium but I was too tired. If I get the job I took the test for, I'm going back to Fordham Ave to get a new tat at Tuff City Tattoo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
