The North Shore Bus Company operated in Queens until 1947. The routes that it served were taken over by the NYC Transit Authority. Some of these lines still exist - like the Q44, and the Q46 (which was known as the Q44A until 1990). I’m getting ready to launch my new blog, Two Fare Zone which strives to take you on a visual and cultural journey through each of the bus routes that cut through Queens.
Now that Bleecker Bob’s on West Third is going to be moving, I’ve been more than a little nostalgic for the record stores I used to frequent.

“Is there a new Cure album coming out?
Is Robert Smith getting married?
Is this a greatest hits collection?
Is The Cure breaking up?
Have some Cure songs been re-recorded?
Have some other Cure songs been remixed?
Will The Cure ever tour the U.S. again?
Is Robert Smith releasing a solo LP?
Confused?
No, just MIXED UP.”
— Ad for The Cure’s ‘Mixed Up’ (“Twelve CURE classics RE-BORN, featuring the new single ‘Never Enough’”) in the December 1990 issue of Spin magazine.
Wowzers.

First in our Swingin’ Seventies series. Can you imagine conceiving of, let alone green-lighting this today? Newsweek brimming w/ confidence and feeling their oats. What were these “games”? Dive in…
Gotta love this one. (Totally hot, but, um, really, Newsweek??)
