Hudson Heights, Broadway at 190th Street

There are two things I'd like you to notice about this subway station (besides its unusual decor). The first is the sign that says 191st St. Entrance (enlarge!).  There is no 191st Street at Broadway.  This station is directly opposite 190th Street.

See? This is 190th Street. You'll have to take my word for it, but I don't lie about map issues. What they should have said was 191st St. Stop Entrance. The main station is over on St. Nicholas at 191st Street.


The next thing is the sign that says "No bicycle riding in subway tunnel." Why in the world would that be necessary?

Oh.



By the way, google maps shows the subway station before it was painted.  Don't you think they should date those street photos in google maps?
