I don't recall what metro stop this is, but I felt like I had stepped back in time when I saw the signs at either end. Hardly any stations have these now, but I remember them from 50 (!) years ago. [Linking back to Weekend Reflections (however subtle) and to The Weekend in Black and White.] |

Might be Sèvres – Babylone.
ReplyDeleteThe B&W kind of harks back to 1966. Fifty years! I think of this, no. 1 on this date then. Yeah, fifty years. Of these songs I think of the prior link, a 1954 Pontiac, a pool hall, and just a little hanky panky.
Great find! Love the reflection, too.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful shot! Could it be Sèvres–Babylone?
ReplyDeleteQuite likely, actually!
DeleteI wish they still had those kinds of signs - they have a lovely nostalgia about them! Beautiful piccie, bella.
ReplyDeleteI just watched the 1952 movie “Little Fugitive” and was surprised to see very much the same style of directional arrow as here, used on the “Coney Island Stillwell Ave.” sign. Must have been the thing to do then, on both sides of the pond. (Sorry, but once the clip starts at the right spot I don’t know how to stop it. A simple click by the viewer should suffice though.)
ReplyDeleteMy older brother used to ride the subway by himself when he was 4 (!). Of course, that was 1945; these days, my parents would no doubt be arrested for letting him do that.
DeleteAnd I remember the old wooden First and Second class cars. The seats in the Fist Class were padded... Used to cheat at rush hour and hop out of First Class when the 'controleur' got on... And remember the 'poinçonneuses'? First went to Paris in 1967....and still going....
