Myrtle Avenue station (LIRR Evergreen Branch)

The Myrtle–Wyckoff Avenues station (announced on New Technology Trains as Myrtle Avenue–Wyckoff Avenue station) is a New York City Subway station complex formed by the intersecting stations of the BMT Canarsie Line and the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line, served by the L and M trains at all times. It is located at Myrtle Avenue and Wyckoff Avenue in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn and the Ridgewood neighborhood of Queens (since Wyckoff Avenue between Gates Avenue and Eldert Street forms the border between Brooklyn and Queens). The complex is connected by a set of stairs and several elevators and escalators between the elevated and underground levels. The station was renovated completely from 2004 to 2008. Since many buses stop here, the MTA opened the Ridgewood Intermodal Terminal on August 20, 2010. Palmetto Street was shuttered to all traffic except for buses in order for the B26, B52, B54, Q55, and Q58 buses to terminate closer together on different parts of the street, and to increase accessibility and convenience for buses and subway transfers. However, neither the elevated BMT Myrtle Avenue Line nor the underground BMT Canarsie Line terminate here, merely the bus lines, excluding the B13, which passes on Gates Avenue, one street away from the terminal on Palmetto Street.

In a profile in The New York Times, P-Orridge claimed that she was "forced out [of the neighborhood] by the hipsters" and that she would relocate to the Lower East Side.The gallery has drawn attention for its exhibitions featuring a broad range of materials and working methods, including both artist William Pappenheimer's curatorial project Tunneling, 2010, which surveyed new media and Matthew Miller's self-portraits painted using traditional methods from the Northern Renaissance. In January 2011 the gallery exhibited an installation by artist Andrew Ohanesian of an airplane jetway that the artist had built from new and discarded parts he sourced himself.Artist William Powhida praised the inclusiveness of the Ridgewood / Bushwick artist community of which the gallery is a part, saying, “You can still have a BBQ outside of English Kills and host Sunday salons at Famous Accountants... Do you ever see that in Chelsea? Not so much.”
