sleuthing

I saw something interesting on Google Maps today re: the G train:

Please note the Fort Hamilton Parkway stop. I've been hearing about some extended G service a little bit, but it's kind of awesome to see it right there on (my beloved) Google Maps. I did some sleuthing (as my boss calls it) and found this on the G train Wikipedia page:

The MTA has announced a three-year rehabilitation of the Culver Viaduct from 2009–2012. As part of that project, the G service, which currently terminates at Smith–Ninth Streets, will be permanently extended to Church Avenue.

How useful it actually winds up being will probably depend on whether or not I still live in the same neighborhood and whether or not I still have a friend or two down in Flatbush or by the park. Anyway. Happy Friday.
