Sumner Avenue Line And New Lots Avenue Line
The Sumner Avenue Line and New Lots Avenue Line were two streetcar lines in Brooklyn, New York City, running mainly along Marcus Garvey Boulevard (formerly Sumner Avenue), East 98th Street, and New Lots Avenue between northern Bedford-Stuyvesant and New Lots. Originally streetcar lines, the two lines were combined as a bus route in 1947. That bus route became the present B15 Marcus Garvey Boulevard/New Lots Avenue, operated by MTA New York City Bus' East New York Depot in East New York. The B15 continues east from New Lots to JFK Airport in Queens. The Brooklyn General Mail Facility in Spring Creek is also served by the route with buses going through there at night and select buses from Bedford-Stuyvesant using it as a terminal during the day.

Famous quotes containing the words sumner, avenue, line and/or lots:
“through the Sumner Tunnel,
trunk by trunk through its sulphurous walls,
tile by tile like a men’s urinal,
slipping through
like somebody else’s package.”

“Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First you’re the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims he’s been mistaken for someone else. Then you play the fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didn’t commit. And now you play the peevish lover stung by jealously and betrayal. It seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the FBI and a little more from the Actors Studio.”
—Ernest Lehman (b.1920)
“I love them
for finding what
I can’t find,
and for loving me
for the line I wrote,
and for forgetting it....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Once you are involved in politics, the most difficult thing is to go for hang [be sentenced to death]....We can’t cry over what has happened to us because other people suffer lots more than we suffer.... until you are killed, you can’t say that you have really suffered.”
—Ela Ramgobin (b. 1941)
