Never heard about this, but there is a secret/unused platform at Roosevelt / 74th

Very interesting. Never knew. Maybe it's somehow connected/has something to do with this other supposed abandoned station that I originally asked about.
But, fascinating material on Jackson Heights hidden upper level:

Neighborhood Chat / Abandoned subway station in Queens
« on: December 31, 2019, 03:23:43 PM »
Hello,
I use an app called "Citizen" which sends out alerts about various crime/emergencies happening nearby. Back on December 22, 2019 at 12:07 pm, the app sent me an alert that there's a report of water pouring from an abandoned subway station between the 69 St-Fisk Ave station and the 61 St-Woodside Station. I have uploaded two screenshots of the alert and you can see them here:

I found it very strange, as I've never heard that there's an abandoned subway station at this location. On the app/alert, I read some first comments of residents nearby reacting to this alert. It seemed that everyone was confused/never knew about a supposed abandoned subway station there. I did some quick search on Google and could not find anything. Being a history buff, and also a huge enthusiast of transit/trains/subway system, I'd like to learn more about this supposed abandoned station. Does anyone know more / have more info/links to share? Thank you!

311 is the worst. Completely useless.

The Queensboro restaurant says: $100/month, access 9 am - 5 pm M-F. Coffee available. Not a bad deal.

Neighborhood Chat / Co-working spaces?
« on: November 23, 2019, 01:56:52 AM »
Hello,
I'm looking around to find co-working spaces in Jackson Heights, Elmhurst and Woodside. I'm really tired of having to go all the way to Manhattan for something like that. I can work at home fine, but I need a change of scenery to be productive. Somebody on Instagram said that there's a co-working space near Wendy's (Broadway and 37th Road), but I'm still investigating that. The Queensboro restaurant (80th Street and Northern Blvd) said that they turn into a co-working space during the day M-F (when the kitchen is closed) for a low fee (contact the restaurant for more details). Elmhurst library is nice, but it can get crowded and loud. Please share any ideas and info. Thank you!
