Unused Subway Stations

You know what really grinds my gears?

Unused or shut down subway stations. You probably dont know this, but the MTA has about 9 subway stations that exist and dont get used. (i.e.: 18th st on the Lex Line and City Hall on the 6). Real estate is so rare in NYC, they should lease these places out for retail or apartments or some shit. Like they tell us that the MTA is broke and that we have to pay more for less. Here is an idea... Let someone sell shit in the old 18th st station or on the unused lower tracks on the 7 in Times Square. Or the old City Hall stop is beautiful. I bet some designer would pay a shit ton of money to rent out that space!!

Post Note: This is actually pretty cool. Check this out. And the next time you are on the 6 look out while passing 18th, you can see it. Also, you can see the old 91st st stop on the 1. Here are all of them: http://www.columbia.edu/~brennan/abandoned/
